| Summary: | CO2 mitigation technology through the CCUS (Carbon, Capture, Utilization, and Storage)
system is rapidly advancing. One of the technologies that can be applied is the
Electrochemical Reduction of CO2 into value-added chemicals, such as formic acid
(HCOOH). Formic acid can be used as a hydrogen carrier. When the hydrogen is to be
used, the formic acid needs to be decomposed back into hydrogen and CO2. The catalyst
that can be used for this purpose is Pt and Au-based catalysts.
This research varied formic acid concentrations (0.01 M, 0.05 M, 0.1 M, and 0.5 M) and
catalyst types (Pt, Au, and Pt-Au wires). This research employed several characterizations
including High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Gas Chromatography
(GC), and a Dissolved Hydrogen Meter.
Results indicated that a 0.5 M formic acid solution yielded the highest conversion rates
with Pt, Au, and Pt-Au catalysts at 43%, 37.5%, and 58%, respectively. Despite this,
hydrogen remained undetected, requiring estimated hydrogen production calculations
based on produced CO2 and formic acid dehydrogenation reaction stoichiometry, peaking
at a concentration of 0.436 ppm. Additionally, a transition from batch to continuous
reactor systems was designed for operational viability, this system will then be utilized
for subsequent experimental research groups. |
