METHOD OF PRODUCING HYDROCARBONS AND HYDROGEN FROM WATER AND CARBON DIOXIDE Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC C10G2/00 C01B13/02 C01B3/04 C07C1/02 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method of producing hydrocarbons, hydrogen and oxygen using carbon dioxide and water. According to the method, water is saturated with carbon dioxide to obtain carbonated water; the carbonated water is passed through at least one reactor having a catalyst to conduct the reaction: nCO₂+[4n+2(k+1)]H₂O=C_nH_2n+2+[3n+2k+1]H₂+[3n+k+1]O₂, where k is an integer greater than or equal to 0, n is an integer greater than or equal to 1, to obtain hydrocarbons, hydrogen and oxygen, further fed into at least one separator; reaction products from the source carbonated water are separated in at least one separator by separating the gas phase and the liquid phase, wherein hydrocarbons are separated from the liquid phase and the gas phase, and hydrogen and oxygen are further separated from the gas phase.

EFFECT: method enables to simultaneously obtain hydrocarbons, hydrogen and oxygen while reducing power consumption while reducing environmentally hazardous products.
