Surface Plasmon Resonance can be used to activate zinc oxide/copper catalysts in order to perform the carbon dioxide hydrogenation reaction by means of light energy, avoiding high-temperature processes. The synthesis and impregnation methods have been designed to fill glass microreactors with ZnO/Cu nanoparticles supported on transparent silica aerogels to maximize the light absorbed by the catalyst. A LED device surrounding the glass microreactors provided white light to activate the catalyst homogeneously throughout the reactor. Temperature, pressure, amount of catalyst and gases flow were studied as possible variables to enhance the process trying to maximize CO2 conversion rates, achieving the best results working at high pressures. The use of transparent SiO2 Aerogels as supports for photocatalytic gas phase reactions even under high-pressure conditions is demonstrated.

In the present work, a drop tube reactor (DTR) and a horizontal tubular reactor (HTR) were used to study the pyrolysis behaviour of beech wood particles of different sizes under the conditions encountered in industrial fluidized bed gasifiers, namely high external heat flux (105 – 106 W.m-2) and high temperature (800 – 1000°C). The influence of the reactor temperature (800 and 950°C), of particle size (from 350 µm to 6 mm), and of gas residence time (from 1 to 10 s) were examined. Under the explored conditions, when pyrolysis is finished, more than 80 wt.% of virgin wood is converted into gas and less than 13 wt.% remains in solid. In the gas phase, CO is the main gaseous product (50 wt.% of virgin wood), followed by H2 (molar ratios of H2/CO are between 0.35 to 0.55), H2O, CO2 and CH4. Species C2H2, C2H4, C2H6 and C6H6 are present in much lower amounts. The increase of temperature increases the rate of solid devolatilization and favours the cracking reactions of hydrocarbons. The increase of particle size increases the required time for completing pyrolysis. Meanwhile, the results obtained at 950°C show that the final products distribution at the end of pyrolysis is almost the same for the particles between 350 and 800 µm. The increase of the particle size from 800 µm to 6 mm seems to have some influence on the final products distribution. The gas phase reactions mainly change the yields of light hydrocarbons and H2: the increase of gas residence time favours the cracking reactions of hydrocarbons and thus leads to a higher H2 yield.

The possibility of bimetallic Ni-Mo nitrides usage as the catalysts in carbon dioxide hydrogenation reaction was examined in this work. Powders were synthesized through thermo-programmed reduction of precursor, which was produced by evaporation of the metal-containing solution. Specimens were investigated by x-ray diffraction, thermogravimetry, low-temperature nitrogen adsorption and scanning electron microscopy. It is shown that final powders provide CO2 conversion of 29 % for contact time of 0.26 s.
