Carbon dioxide conversion via reverse water-gas shift reaction: Reactor design.

The reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction converts carbon dioxide (CO) and hydrogen (H) to syngas, which is used to produce various high-added-value chemicals. This process has attracted great interest from researchers as a way of mitigating the potential environmental impacts of this greenhouse gas, with emphasis on global warming. This work aims to model and simulate an industrial catalytic reactor using kinetic data for the RWGS reaction.

Thermal plasma gasification of organic waste stream coupled with CO-sorption enhanced reforming employing different sorbents for enhanced hydrogen production.

In the past few years, rising concerns global climate change and clean energy demand have brought worldwide attention to developing the 'biomass/organic waste-to-energy' concept as a zero-emission, environment-friendly and sustainable pathway to simultaneously quench the global energy thirst and process diverse biomass/organic waste streams. Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) can be an influential technological route to curb climate change to a significant extent by preventing CO discharge. One of the pathways to realize BECCS is CO-sorption coupled with a thermal plasma gasification process.
