3.3. CO2 consumption
The parameters of CO2 consumption and conversion in CPOM
are two crucial indicators to represent CO2 utilization. The CO2
consumption is defined as
CO2 consumption ðmol h1Þ ¼ FCO2;in ðFCO2;out F0
CO2;out
Þ (11)
where F0
CO2;out
is the flow rate of CO2 at the exit of the rector under
the condition of without CO2 addition. The CO2 conversion is
expressed by
CO2 conversion ð%Þ ¼
FCO2;in ðFCO2;out F0
CO2;out
Þ
FCO2;in
