State Point Data Tables

Instructions for completing data table: Tables R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5are required for the respective TAs identified on the tables. Tables R1-R5 contain data fields that must be populated with data provided by the Recipient and included as a deliverable at the end of the project. The table format below is provided for the Recipient’s convenience to ensure that all the requested elements are included. If the Recipient proposes a concept outside of the examples described, they may selectively modify rows to include information of comparable detail and relevance to the elements in the table provided.

Recipients must provide current measured or estimated performance data, along with projected R&D targets. The data provided, unless indicated otherwise, must be at or near to the operating conditions being proposed for the CO2 utilization technology being offered. However, measured data at different conditions are preferred over estimations. If selected for award, progress toward meeting the targets provided will become the basis for judging performance improvements over the course of the project.

Short narratives in bullet form must accompany the table(s) and must describe the sources for the individual data provided. Such sources may include measurements made directly by the Recipient and should identify the apparatus and methodology used in the measurement(s). Other acceptable sources of data are open literature (with citation and description), or estimated or extrapolated data (with description of method/model used for the estimate, or the procedure used for extrapolation). Arguments supported by theory/mechanisms should be provided for projected performance for new, advanced catalysts or other materials, equipment, and processes.

1 Balanced equations for each step in the synthesis pathway. Intermediates provided from external sources (e.g., ethane, methane, hydrogen, etc.) should be shown in BOLD type. Intermediates generated as part of the synthesis pathway should be in standard type.

2 STP – Standard Temperature and Pressure (25°C, 1 atm) 3 If Standard Enthalpies and Gibbs Free Energies of Formation cannot be found for some chemical species in the proposed chemical reaction(s), they should be estimated; however, the method used must be clearly referenced or described.

4 Identify the type reaction for example, thermochemical, electrochemical, photochemical, etc.

5 Identify the CO2 source for example, coal-fired flue gas, natural gas-fired flue gas, pure CO2, etc.

6 Identify the catalyst composition 7 Reactor residence times are difficult to quantify, especially early in any laboratory-scale development effort. Definitions vary based on whether the reaction is being carried out in a batch or continuous reactor and whether a homogeneous, heterogeneous or no catalyst is being used. For the calculation of Nominal Residence Time, the Recipient should use the following equations:

For experimental systems involving batch reactors:

{Nominal Residence Time} = {Length of Time Reactor is Operated} For continuous reactors operated at steady state, employing a solid catalyst:

{Nominal Residence Time} = {Mass of Catalyst in Reactor} / {Total Mass Flowrate into Reactor} For continuous reactors operated at steady state, employing a homogenous or no catalyst:

{Nominal Residence Time} = {Volume of Reactor} / {Total Volume Flowrate into Reactor} 8 Selectivity to Desired Product is the fraction of the carbon in the Desired Product (see definition below) to the total amount of available carbon reacted, expressed as mole-percent.

9 Recipient should define the primary product of interest. Normally, this is either the highest value or largest volume compound or material produced. Desirable co-products are any other reaction products of sufficient value that they would be profitable for the producer to recover, purify, transport and market. Whether to maximize or minimize production of these co-products is an economic decision. Unwanted by-products are produced from undesired side reactions, which may result from system upsets or may be an unavoidable consequence of the current state of technology development.

CO2 Conversion =100 x (moles CO2 reacted) / (moles CO2 in feed) 9 Selectivity to Desired Product (as defined below) is the quotient of the moles of carbon from CO2 in the Desired Product to the moles of CO2 reacted, expressed as mole-percent.

As used here, the term ‘Desired Product’ refers to the morphology of the carbon: nanotubes, graphene or graphitic sheets or flakes, etc., and does not include impurities left in the finished product.

12 Identify the main product impurities for the example byproducts contaminants, etc. that are not separated from the finished product.

13 Purity of Desired Product = (mass of the desired product) / (Total mass of the finished product) Where the ‘Total mass of the product’ is the mass of the desired product plus the mass of the product impurities or contaminants.
