Question

Synthesis of methnol from carbon sequestration by using ionic liquids

Answer 1

carbonate (DMC) synthesis from methanol and CO2 was investigated using ionic liquids (ILs) as catalysts. ILs based on 1-alkyl-3-methyl imidazolium and N-alkylpyridine cations and [Cl-], [BF 4-], [PF 6-], [Tf 2 N-] anions were used in this study. Selectivity in DMC increased in the anion order: [Tf 2 N-] < [PF 6-] < [Cl-] < [BF 4-], following the same behavior for both cations. Methanol conversion was similar for all tested ILs. The best result for DMC selectivity (83%) was obtained when [emim][BF 4 ] was used as catalyst. After 5 recycling tests, a loss of 8.5% in the catalyst activity was observed

Answer 2

Answer:

However, the area of the assessment with the most storage potential for carbon dioxide is the Coastal Plains region, which includes coastal basins from Texas to Georgia. That region accounts for 2,000 metric gigatons, or 65 percent, of the storage potential.
