Synthesis of Carbonate Compounds Using Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Dioxide-Derived Materials

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Chemistry Beyond Chlorine

Abstract

The chemical transformation of carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide – derived materials such as urea into value-added chemicals may be significant from the viewpoint of green chemistry in replacing harmful reactants such as phosgene and recycling undesired carbon dioxide. The transformation may be achieved by using various catalysts including solid base catalysts, multi-component catalysts, ionic liquid catalysts, and so on, some of which include halogens. Our chapter is to review those catalytic transformation reactions of carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide – derived materials.
