Özet:

 

In this review article, some of the challenging research  areas related to the development of novel catalysts and catalytic  processes for the chemical fixation of CO2 by converting it to  alcohols and ethers, and for the conversion of alcohols to olefins and  other hydrocarbons are reviewed.  Ethanol, methanol, and the ethers  derived from them, such as DEE and DME, have good burning  characteristics and may be considered attractive transportation fuel  alternates.  New processes for catalytic selective oxidation and  dehydration of alcohols may open up new pathways for the production of  olefins and other petrochemicals from non-petroleum feedstock.   Developments in CO2 capture and its chemical fixation processes will  help reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere and will produce  alternative fuels to petroleum.  All these new processes involve  challenging catalysis research.
