Abstract
This invention is directed to novel mixed transition metal iron (II/III) catalysts for the extraction of oxygen from CO2 and the selective reaction with organic compounds.
Claims6
A method for converting a hydrocarbon to an oxygenated hydrocarbon which comprises contacting a mixed transition iron (II/III) metal catalyst for catalyzing CO2 oxidation of the hydrocarbon, wherein the mixed transition metal iron (II/III) catalyst is an iron (II/III) and a second metal oxide selected from the group consisting of Ag, Bi, Co, Cu, La, Mn, Sn, Ru, and Zn, and an appropriate CO2 feed stream under appropriate conditions so as to form the oxygenated hydrocarbon.
