Ten years of rapid development in chemical engineering technology – praising the prosperity and strength of modern China. This is just a starting point; more participation will make things even more interesting. With you here, HaiChuan becomes even better. [Ten years of progress in chemical engineering equipment] – continuous updates and summaries available; feel free to join the discussions at https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html. Enhance quality awareness and promote high-quality development. ----------------------------------------- In August 2023, an experiment conducted jointly by the Chengdu Materials Research Institute of Pangang Group and the Carbon Energy and Electrification Team from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China was successful in using electrocatalysis to produce formic acid from carbon dioxide. 　　It is understood that taking advantage of its proprietary technologies in low-carbon smelting and carbon capture, the Chengdu Institute of Materials Science has combined these with the carbon energy and innovation techniques developed by the team from University of Electronic Science and Technology. Using the comprehensive utilization of carbon dioxide generated during the smelting process of vanadium-titanium magnetite in the Panxi region as an application scenario, the institute has installed devices for the efficient resource utilization of carbon dioxide in its laboratory for new low-carbon metallurgical processes for vanadium-titanium ore, and has designed corresponding conversion pathways. After capturing and treating carbon dioxide, the research team used it together with water as raw materials to successfully produce the industrial product formic acid at a certain current density, achieving a conversion rate of 95.4%. 　　Next, the research team will explore the technical requirements for carrying out large-scale industrial trials to produce high-value industrial products such as formic acid and acetic acid.
