An efficient way of producing fuel hydrocarbon from CO2 and activated water

Here we show that petroleum can be formed efficiently at normal temperatures and pressures from carbon dioxide and activated water. The CO2 nano-bubble containing water was treated with photocatalyst in the presence of oxygen under UV irradiation. The activated water was mixed vigorously with kerosene or light oil and carbon dioxide to form an emulsion. The emulsion gradually separated into a two-phase solution. After phase separation, the volume of kerosene or light oil, depending on which oil was utilized, increased by 5 to 10%.When n-tetradecane was used, n-tetradecane was only produced. These results suggest template-dependent synthesis. It is also shown that commercial light was purified by removing organic and inorganic impurities, resulting in premium oil. The industrial machine for continuous production of oil was constructed.
