Abstract:Converting CO2 into chemicals, e.g., methanol and dimethyl ether (DME), has been an attractive way to protect the global environment. In this process, the total catalyst volume of the methanol reactor was split into two sections to load the reactors. The catalyst volume of each reactor was optimized by the differential evolution technique. It was concluded that the indirect route yields a higher DME production rate than the direct one, as it produces higher amounts of methanol. CO2 conversions increased by 79 … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
