HETEROGENEOUS CATALYTIC REACTIONS OF CARBON-DIOXIDE

The more important classes of heterogeneous catalytic reactions with CO2 participation are considered: CO2 insertion into the C-C, C-H, and C-N bonds resulting in carbonyl and carboxyl containing compounds, and the oxidation of other molecules by CO2. The reactions of the second type are more perspective for the use of carbon dioxide as the starting material as well as for the solution of ecological problems connected with utilisation of carbon dioxide from the waste gases. The reactions of hydrocarbon C-2-C-7 and alcohols C-1-C-2 oxidation by CO2 are considered in details. The catalysts basing on manganese oxides are the most efficient.
