Abstract
A process for producing functionalized organic molecules having 1 to 3 carbon atoms. The method includes the step of contacting carbon dioxide as the only gas, or a gas mixture that includes carbon dioxide and methane, in the presence of water, with a catalyst that includes permanently polarized hydroxyapatite.
Claims18
A process for producing functionalized organic molecules having 1 to 3 carbon atoms selected from the group consisting of ethanol, methanol, formic acid, acetic acid, malonic acid, acetone and a mixture of at least two of the afore-said functionalized organic molecules, the process comprising the step of:
- contacting carbon dioxide as the only gas or a gas mixture comprising or consisting of carbon dioxide and methane in the presence of water with a catalyst comprising or consisting of permanently polarized hydroxyapatite, wherein the gas mixture is free of nitrogen.
