炭酸ガスの工業的利用を考える

抄録

It is estimated in japan that about 500 million tons per year of carbon dioxide are being discharged in air, originating from automobiles and electric power stations as well as the hydrogen manufacturing plants. Carbon dioxide seems to me to be a promising carbon resources especially in the case of recent petroleum. crisis.
This review deals with mainly the synthesis of gasoline or methanol starting from carbon monoxide via. carbon dioxide as well as the recovery of carbon dioxide from air.
In addition, carbon dioxide seems to be connected with the origin of petroleum, as proposed by Gaucher (1968) and me (1968), so that it may be said that carbon dioxide chemistry is sure to be a promising field of pure and industrial chemistry in very near future.
