The catalyst can be widely used in metallurgy, chemical and oil refining industries.
Key Points:
- The catalyst can be widely used in metallurgy, chemical and oil refining industries.
- Reducing the level of CO2 emission is one of the most pressing long-term tasks of mankind and a serious challenge for the scientific community.
- The research team of NUST MISIS proposed a compromise solution - to use inexpensive iron as a catalyst component, reducing the content of noble metals (in this case platinum) to less than 1 atomic %.
- The main product of the reaction of CO2 processing using the obtained catalyst is CO (carbon monoxide), which can be reused in industrial processes.
