Definitions

  • the present invention relates to chemical reactions and in particular to a method and apparatus for the synthesis of organic compounds from carbon dioxide and hydrogen.
  • the invention has been developed primarily to synthesise organic compounds using atomic energy, on an industrial scale, and in turn reduce greenhouse gases. However, it will be appreciated that the invention is not limited to this particular field of use.
  • LARE Los Alamos Renewable Energy
  • Another method is to use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into a carbon- based fuel in an electrochemical cell.
  • the so-formed hydrocarbons liberate relatively little energy when used as fuels.
  • Carbon dioxide is seen as the most predominant and damaging greenhouse gas in the earth's atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is an odourless, colourless nonflammable gas that is recycled through the atmosphere by the process of photosynthesis, which occurs when green plants and other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. Light energy is used to convert carbon dioxide, water, and other compounds into oxygen and energy rich organic compounds.
  • Carbon-containing fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas are used for example to generate electricity, heat houses, power factories and run cars. When they are burned, carbon from these fuels combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. Accordingly, over time, the concentration of greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere has steadily increased, insulating the earth and causing it to heat up. This, in turn, results in global warming and related problems such as the melting of the polar ice-caps.
  • Carbon dioxide is currently at a globally averaged concentration of approximately 387 ppm by volume in the earth's atmosphere, although this is steadily increasing due to human activity. Carbon dioxide is an important greenhouse gas because it transmits visible light but absorbs strongly in the infrared and near-infrared.
  • Carbon dioxide is produced by all animals, plants, fungi and microorganisms during respiration and is used by plants during photosynthesis, to make sugars which may either be consumed again in respiration or used as the raw material for plant growth. It is, therefore, a major component of the carbon cycle. Carbon dioxide is generated as a by-product of the combustion of fossil fuels or vegetable matter, among other chemical processes. Some carbon dioxide is output by volcanoes and other geothermal processes such as hot springs.
  • Carbon dioxide is produced from six principal sources and processes: As a by-product in ammonia and hydrogen plants, where methane is converted to CO 2 ; From combustion of wood and fossil fuels; As a by-product of fermentation of sugar in the brewing of beer, whisky and other alcoholic beverages; From thermal decomposition of limestone, CaCO 3 , in the manufacture of lime; As a by-product of sodium phosphate manufacture; Directly from natural carbon dioxide springs, where it is produced by the action of acidified water on limestone or dolomite. However, the greatest production of CO 2 is not man made but produced by the tectonic movement of the earth's plates.
  • Greenhouse gases reduce the loss of heat into space and therefore contribute to global temperatures through the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases are essential to maintaining the temperature of the earth; without them the planet would be so cold as to be uninhabitable. However, an excess of greenhouse gases can raise the temperature of a planet to lethal levels, as on Venus where the 90 bar partial pressure of carbon dioxide contributes to a surface temperature of about 467 0 C.
  • Greenhouse gases can be removed from the atmosphere by various processes, including but not limited to: 1. As a consequence of a physical change (condensation and precipitation remove water vapor from the atmosphere).
  • Halocarbons are dissociated by UV light releasing Cl- and F- as free radicals in the stratosphere with harmful effects on ozone (halocarbons are generally too stable to disappear by chemical reaction in the atmosphere).
  • the lifetime ⁇ of an atmospheric species X in a one-box model is the average time that a molecule of X remains in the box.
  • Mathematically ⁇ can be defined as the ratio of the mass m (kg) of X in the box to its removal rate, which is the sum of the flow of X out of the box (F ou t), chemical loss of X (L), and deposition of X (D) (all in kg/sec).
  • the atmospheric lifetime of a species therefore measures the time required to restore equilibrium following an increase in its concentration in the atmosphere. Individual atoms or molecules may be lost or deposited to sinks such as the soil, the oceans and other waters, or vegetation and other biological systems, reducing the excess to background concentrations. The average time taken to achieve this is the mean lifetime.
  • Examples of the atmospheric lifetime and Global Warming Potential (GWP) for several greenhouse gases include: • CO 2 has a variable atmospheric lifetime, and cannot be specified precisely.
  • Carbon dioxide is defined to have a GWP of 1 over all time periods.
  • Methane has an atmospheric lifetime of 12 ⁇ 3 years and a GWP of 62 over 20 years, 23 over 100 years and 7 over 500 years. The decrease in GWP associated with longer times is associated with the fact that the methane is degraded to water and CO 2 by chemical reactions in the atmosphere.
  • Nitrous oxide has an atmospheric lifetime of 120 years and a GWP of 296 over 100 years.
  • CFC- 12 has an atmospheric lifetime of 100 years and a GWP of 10600 over 100 years.
  • HCFC-22 has an atmospheric lifetime of 12.1 years and a GWP of 1700 over 100 years.
  • Tetrafluoromethane has an atmospheric lifetime of 50,000 years and a GWP of 5700 over 100 years.
  • Sulfur hexafluoride has an atmospheric lifetime of 3,200 years and a GWP of 22000 over 100 years. Accordingly, one will readily appreciate that carbon dioxide is not only the most abundant of greenhouse gases, but also one of the longest-lived. It would thus be desirous to conceive of, establish and implement new technologies that may operate in unison with photosynthesis as means of reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.
  • Laccase can oxidatively decompose endocrine disrupting chemicals including chlorophenols, agricultural chemicals, polycyclic aroma hydrocarbons, alkyl phenol, aroma hydrocarbons, and nitro compounds. Accordingly, when genes for phenoloxidase, e.g. laccase, are incorporated and plants which can express a function of the genes are prepared, a method of producing phenoloxidase at high yields and desirable cost levels can be established. Also, it is further possible to accomplish phyto-remediation which is useful for decomposing and removing hazardous chemical substances in the environment. Thorium, as well as uranium and plutonium, can be used as fuel in a nuclear reactor.
  • the 39 Pu cycle in slow-neutron reactors, can be set up.
  • the 232 Th absorbs a neutron to become Th which normally emits an electron and an anti-neutrino (v e -) by ⁇ " decay to become protactinium-233 ( 233 Pa) and then emits another electron and anti-neutrino by a second ⁇ ⁇ decay to become 233 U.
  • the irradiated fuel can then be unloaded from the reactor, the 233 U separated from the thorium (a relatively simple process since it involves chemical instead of isotopic separation), and fed back into another reactor as part of a closed nuclear fuel cycle.
  • Problems include the high cost of fuel fabrication due partly to the high radioactivity of 233 U which is a result of its contamination with traces of the shortlived 232 U; the similar problems in recycling thorium due to highly radioactive 228 Th; some weapons proliferation risk of 233 U; and the technical problems (not yet satisfactorily solved) in reprocessing.

Abstract

La présente invention combine les avantages d'un réacteur atomique, fournissant de l'énergie par rayonnements de particules pour convertir, par exemple, du dioxyde de carbone et de l'hydrogène en composés aromatiques et/ou aliphatiques. Dans le procédé de l'invention, le dioxyde de carbone (sous forme de gaz, de liquide (par exemple, supercritique), ou de glace sèche) et de l'hydrogène gazeux sont combinés à l'aide des rayonnements secondaires d'un réacteur atomique afin de produire des composés aliphatiques et/ou aromatiques utiles. De préférence, le réacteur atomique est un système piloté par accélérateur (ADS). Mieux encore, le système piloté par accélérateur est un système au thorium piloté par accélérateur. L'invention présente un double avantage en remplaçant les combustibles fossiles comme source d'énergie et de matières premières limitées de valeur, tout en réduisant la quantité de dioxyde de carbone à effet de serre. De préférence, les composés organiques/matières premières produites sont des composés aromatiques et/ou aliphatiques. L'application de la présente invention à un système d'échange de carbone est envisagée.
