Beyond the fruitful progresses and innovations in catalysts, the system engineering-based research on the full carbon dioxide reduction reaction is urgently needed toward the industrial application. In this review, we summarize and discuss recent works on the innovations in the reactor architectures and optimizations based on system engineering in carbon dioxide reduction reaction. Some challenges and future trends in this field are further discussed, especially on the system engineering factors.展开更多

The model combined the porous medium CFD model with a reaction kinetics model. To acquire an accu- rate reaction kinetics model, a comprehensive reaction mechanism was studied for the heterogeneous catalytic dehydrogenation reaction ofsyngas over a supported metal catalyst. Based on the reaction mech- anism and a statistical test, a reliable kinetics model was proposed. The CFD model combined with the above kinetics model was validated with one set of experimental data. The CFD model was also used to predict key reaction variable distributions such as the temperature and the component concentrations in the reactor.展开更多
