Reducing process of carbon dioxide with electronegative ions of iodine
by DC-negative high voltage corona discharge
was investigated.The effects of gas flow
discharge frequencies and molar ratios of the iodine vapor to carbon dioxide on conversions of carbon dioxide were also examined.The results show that tetraiodomethane was synthesized successfully by electronegative ions of iodine at 70℃ and its yield decreases with increasing flow rates of CO2. When the gas flow rate was 0.06 L·min-1
the discharge frequency 9.608 kHz and molar ratio of I2/CO2 2.5
the conversion of CO2 with electronegative ions of iodine reached 88.71%.Reducing reaction mechanism of electronegative ions of iodine and CO2 is also discussed.
