An environmentally beneficial method of producing methanol from varied sources of carbon dioxide including flue gases of fossil fuel burning powerplants, industrial exhaust gases or the atmosphere itself. Converting carbon dioxide by electrochemical reduction produces formic acid acid and some formaldehyde and methanol mixtures. The formic acid can be used as source of carbon as well as hydrogen to produce methanol, dimethyl ether and other products.

A process for the preparation of an aromatic carbonate is disclosed. The process entails reacting in the presence of a catalyst system an aromatic hydroxy compound with carbon monoxide and oxygen, and optionally in one or more solvents to produce a liquid phase. At least a portion of the liquid phase is subjected to a treatment to obtain a treated liquid phase. The treatment entails at least one of (a) heating to a temperature that is at most mean reaction temperature without passing oxygen thereto, and (b) adding one or more protic compounds thereto, and (c) passing through it one or more inert or reducing gases. Solid metallic catalyst constituents are then separated from the treated liquid phase.

A method of increasing the amount of diphenylcarbonate produced per amount of catalyst consumed in a phenol carbonylation process is described. Phenolic carbonylation produces water as a reaction product which reduces the turnover number (TON) of the catalyst. A mixture of a phenolic precursor, a base containing catalyst and co-catalyst components and at least one chemical additive comprising a halide or hydroxide of alkali metal or alkaline earth metal when carbonylated together under specific conditions increases the turnover number (TON) and water resistivity of a palladium catalyst. The metal halide likely makes the catalyst less susceptible to degradation by water hence increasing the reaction yield per weight of catalyst consumed.
