The reactor is one of the most important equipment to be designed for optimal process
operations. An appropriate reactor modeling leads to an efficient and optimal process …

In order to increase the typically low equilibrium CO2 conversion to methanol using
commercially proven technology, the addition of two intermediate condensation units …

The present Letter to the Executive Editors of the subject section of Chemical Reaction
Engineering of the Chemical Engineering Journal presents a scientific reply addressing the …

Ce promotion increases the rate of methanol formation by two orders of magnitude
compared to Cu/TiO 2 and Cu/SiO 2 catalysts. The promotion proceeds via the generation of …

Recent studies have focused on the promotion of methanol synthesis by CeO2 and the
inhibition of the reverse water gas shift reaction (r-WGSR) by TiO2 support from the …

Chemical reactions on heterogeneous catalyst surfaces exhibit complex networks of
elementary reactions with multiple pathways to fluid phase products, sometimes leading to …

Chemical transformations on catalyst surfaces occur through series and parallel reaction
pathways. These complex networks and their behavior can be most simply evaluated …

In the direct dimethyl ether (DME) synthesis, the combination of Cu/ZnO/ZrO 2 (CZZ) and H-
FER-20 (FER) has shown high selectivity and productivity for a broad range of CO 2/CO X …

This paper compares different power-to-methanol process configurations encompassing the
electrolyser, adiabatic reactor (s) and methanol purification configurations. Twelve different …

Experimental kinetics studies and model-based optimization were performed for the direct
synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) in a wide range of process conditions, including various …
