EP63-Capture of CARBON DIOXIDE and its conversion to CHEMICALS and FUELS- effective for CO2 mitigation- Scientist, CSIR IIP

The Climapreneur Show

C02 is a greenhouse gas and its concentration in the air is increasing continuously causing Global Warming. The capture of C02 and its conversion to chemicals and fuels is recognised as one of the most effective option for CO2 mitigation. They are using carbon dioxide as a carbon resource. Converting carbon dioxide to value added chemicals. With their process, they have been able to replaced carbon monoxide used in acetic acid production with carbon dioxide and converting it into acetic acid. Carbon Dioxide is an extremely stable molecule, its activation requires a lot of energy, however in their approach they are activating carbon dioxide under ambient conditions like room temperature and atmospheric pressure. using sunlight. The entire process not only has a positive environment impact but also provides a huge economic benefit. Methanol + Carbon Dioxide ➡️ Acetic Acid Acetic acid is an important component from polymer chemistry to pharmaceutical industry. It is used as an antiseptic against pseudomonas, enterococci, streptococci, staphylococci and others. As a liquid it is used to flush the bladder in those who have a urinary catheter in an attempt to prevent infection or blockage. It may be used to adjust the pH of the vagina. It is also applied to the cervix to help detect cervical cancer during screening.
