Carbon Dioxide Reduction to C1 or Cn Molecules

Abstract

A review. The conversion of CO2 to C1 or Cn mols. with higher energy content is discussed. Topics are the dissocn. of CO2 into CO on metal or metal oxide catalysts, methane reforming with CO2, catalytic synthesis of methane, conversion into higher alcs., conversion under plasma conditions, and biotechnol. conversion into methanol.
