Photochemical reduction of carbon dioxide in aqueous and ionic liquid solutions in a microreactor with TiO₂ catalyst; experiment and modeling

Creator:

Campbell, Travis J.

Abstract:

Microtechnology was used to study the chemical reduction of dissolved carbon dioxide into useful products. A novel TiO₂ photocatalyst was used to activate the reaction under ultraviolet irradiation. CO₂ was dissolved in aqueous and 50% BMIM-BF₄ (ionic liquid) solutions. The introduction of an ionic liquid increased the solubility of CO₂...

CO2 reduction in aqueous-ionic liquid solution in microscale-based corona reactor, CO₂ reduction in aqueous-ionic liquid solution in microscale-based corona reactor

Creator:

Miao, Yu

Abstract:

Global warming problem is becoming an increasingly important environmental concern and CO₂ is considered as the major cause of global warming. Among various methods of CO₂ utilization, conversion of CO₂ to value added chemical products is the most attractive. In this study, a microscale-based corona reactor is introduced for reduction...
