Anchovyforestbane Posted November 12, 2020 Report Posted November 12, 2020 Any answer to the following could potentially be important for some future work of mine. Through what string of reactions might elemental carbon be converted into methane with a relatively high yield percentage? Quote

Technically that still could work in principle, but Sabatier also entails some pretty aggressive exothermia, which is likely detrimental for this project. There is a zirconium-ruthenium catalyst I've been looking into that accomplishes this without such intense conditions, as I detail here: https://www.scienceforums.com/topic/37443-zirconium-catalyst/ Quote
