6.3. Alternate catalytic CO2hydrogenation techniques
for methanol synthesis
Joo et al. (1999)reported CAMERE (CO2hydrogenation to form
methanol via a reverse WGS reaction) process to convert CO2
into methanol. This process comprised a reverse WGS reaction
and a methanol synthesis reaction. CO2and H2were converted
to CO and H2O by the reverse WGS, and then the gaseous mixture of CO/CO2/H2 was fed into the methanol reactor after
removing water. Several useful papers on the CAMERE process were published during the past decade (Park et al., 2000,
2001; Joo and Jung, 2003).
