The transformation of captured CO2 into value-added chemicals to mitigate increasing CO2 concentration in the atmosphere has gained significant attention recently. Though carbon capture and storage (CCS) is already being practiced in a few places, it suffers from energy-intensive CO2 desorption and compression steps involved, which can be avoided in the carbon capture and utilization (CCU) approach. Herein, a selection of carbon capture solvents were screened to assess the reactivity of condensed-phase heterogeneous metal catalyzed hydrogenation of CO2. Among the catalysts screened, the Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst was active for the one-pot CO2 capture and conversion process to methanol using post and pre-combustion carbon capture solvents comprised of various amines and alcohols. Our findings indicate that formamides are less-reactive under our conditions in comparison with formate ester intermediates and a combination of 1° alcohols and amines gives the highest methanol yield. Screening volatile organic compound (VOC)-free alcohols and amines led us to an environmentally benign system of bio-derived and biodegradable chitosan and polyethylene glycol (PEG200), which provide a moderate concentration of methanol (139.5 mmol L-1) with the facile separation of volatile products (water and methanol). The chitosan/PEG200 system was recycled three times, ultimately providing a promising VOC-free, biodegradable, bio-derived and recyclable CO2 capture and conversion pathway.

The valorization of carbon dioxide (CO2) to fine chemicals is one of the most promising approaches for CO2 capture and utilization. Herein we demonstrated a series of porous organometallic polymers could be employed as highly efficient and recyclable catalysts for this purpose. Synergetic effects of specific surface area, iridium content, and CO2 adsorption capability are crucial to achieve excellent selectivity and yields towards N-formylation of diverse amines with CO2 and H2 under mild reaction conditions even at 20 ppm catalyst loading. Density functional theory calculations revealed not only a redox-neutral catalytic pathway but also a new plausible mechanism with the incorporation of the key intermediate formic acid via a proton-relay process. Remarkably, a record turnover number (TON=1.58×106) was achieved in the synthesis of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), and the solid catalysts can be reused up to 12 runs, highlighting their practical potential in industry.

The invention relates to the technical field of vinyl compound production, in particular to a preparation method of Nvinyl alkyl amide. The preparation method comprises the following steps: A) under the action of a composite basic catalyst, reacting acetaldehyde with alkylamide to obtain Nhydroxyethyl alkylamide, and carrying out esterification reaction on the obtained Nhydroxyethyl alkylamide andacid anhydride to obtain an ester compound; wherein the composite basic catalyst comprises an inorganic base and an amine compound; and B) carrying out medium-temperature cracking on the ester compound, and carrying out vacuum distillation to obtain the Nvinyl alkylamide. Research finds that inorganic base and amine compounds are adopted as catalysts at the same time, so that the dosage of a basic catalyst required by reaction of Nhydroxyethyl alkylamide and anhydride can be remarkably reduced, the temperature required by subsequent cracking reaction is reduced, a reaction system tends to bemilder, and the reaction yield is improved. The yield and the purity of a reaction product can be remarkably improved while the energy consumption is reduced.
