Conversion of CO 2 into methanol is an interesting option to transform waste into value-added chemical while also reducing greenhouse gases emissions in the atmosphere. In this paper, utilization of CO 2 into methanol was simulated using Aspen Plus software. The reaction between CO 2 and H 2 to produce methanol and water was carried out in a simulated fixed-bed reactor with Cu/ZnO/Al 2 O 3 commercial catalyst, following LHHW (Langmuir – Hinshelwood – Hougen – Watson) kinetic model. Isothermal and adiabatic reactor configurations were compared under similar feed conditions and the concentration profile along the reactor was observed. The result showed that isothermal configuration converted 3.23% more CO 2 and provided 16.34% higher methanol yield compared to the adiabatic reactor. Feed inlet temperature variation was applied and the effect to methanol production on both configurations was studied. The highest methanol yield for adiabatic and isothermal reactor was obtained at 200 o C and 240 o C respectively. }, issn = {2407-5973}, pages = {131--135} doi = {10.14710/reaktor.19.3.131-135}, url = {https://ejournal.undip.ac.id/index.php/reaktor/article/view/25573} }
