Climate change mediated by increased CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is one of the most significant challenges facing humanity. One of the effective technology to solve this problem is an electrochemical conversion of CO2 to chemicals. The technology is attracting attention as a way to store excess electricity as well as to curb CO2 emission. There is a wide range of research to relevant to the electrochemical CO2 conversion, like electro-catalyst development and electrolyte development. However, to conduct experimental studies is highly time-consuming and expensive. In this study, we develop a 1D general-purpose model for electrochemical CO2 conversion processes. The model is developed as mathematical equations which describe mass transport, charge conservation, reaction kinetics, and electrochemistry and consists of three sub-models. The modeling results show the steady-state behavior of liquid flow in the electrochemical reactor. Also, the model calculates and predicts the performance of the conversion processes, efficiently. This study shows a 1D general-purpose model for electrochemical CO2 conversion processes and the model simulation results. |
