| description | Ongoing industrialization has deteriorated the global environment. Global warming is a human-induced issue affecting the environment. The alarming increase in CO<sub>2</sub> emissions is among the major contributors to global warming. The conversion of CO<sub>2</sub> to methanol is an economically viable and environmentally friendly solution to mitigate its concentration. Here, hydrogenation of CO<sub>2</sub> was studied over carbon nanofiber-based Cu/ZrO<sub>2</sub> catalysts. Kinetics investigations were carried out for the reaction. Overall, kinetics data indicated that CO<sub>2</sub> conversion follows a pseudo-first-order reaction. The kinetics studies were further modeled by using an artificial neural network, which supported the experimental kinetics study. |
