Fenton-mediated thermocatalytic conversion of CO < sub > 2 < /sub > to acetic acid by industrial waste-derived magnetite nanoparticles

Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Mar 6. doi: 10.1039/d4cc00082j. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIron oxide dust, discarded as industrial waste, has been used here to fabricate magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4-NPs). We have proposed the thermo-catalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) using Fe3O4-NPs in the presence of H2O2 to get acetic acid (AcOH) at near ambient conditions (100 °C, 10 bar) with a maximum yield of ∼0.4 M in a batch-reactor. The importance of H2O2 can be described as it facilitates the production of higher concentrations of OH˙ and H+/˙, which consequently supports the synthesis of AcOH.PMID:38445535 | DOI:10.1039/d4cc00082j
