Abstract:

Here, CO₂ uses as oxygen sources were demonstrated in the reactions which require oxygen source for the removal of hydrogen from saturated hydrocarbons to transform into corresponding value-added petrochemicals such as to corresponding olefins and aromatics. The role of CO₂ as oxidants is as soft oxidant in the oxidative dehydrogenation, and as enhancer, where CO₂ is used as hydrogen scavenger in the hydrogen producing reactions such as aromatization ofbutanoland propane or butane , and dehydrogenation of methanol. These approaches are based on the strategy to use CO₂ not only for oxygen demanding reactions but also for the hydrogen scavenging reactions.

    Also, recently we demonstrated the simultaneous conversions of CO₂ and methane into acetic acid and/or methanol.
