摘要: 二氧化碳浓度的增加可能会导致全球变暖,使得生态系统受损,但它也可以被利用和转化为有价值的化学品。二氧化碳和环氧化合物可以发生环加成反应,该反应生成的产物碳酸酯能够作为化工原料被有效利用。本文采用第一人称视角和拟人化手法,将二氧化碳和环氧化合物比作两个受到环境破坏困扰而决心重建家园的孩子:冰冰和火火,通过他们冲破重重阻碍收集碳酸酯的历险过程,对环加成反应机理和典型的催化剂进行了介绍,并阐述了碳酸酯的应用。

Abstract: Increased carbon dioxide concentrations may contribute to global warming, damaging ecosystems; however, CO2 can also be captured and converted into valuable chemicals. Carbon dioxide and epoxy compounds can undergo a cycloaddition reaction, producing carbonates that can be effectively utilized as chemical raw materials. This article adopts a first-person perspective and personification, comparing carbon dioxide and epoxy compounds to two children—“Ice” and “Fire”—who are troubled by environmental degradation but determined to rebuild their home. Through their adventurous journey to overcome numerous obstacles and collect carbonates, the article introduces the mechanism of the cycloaddition reaction, typical catalysts, and the applications of carbonates in various industries.

Key words: Carbon dioxide, Epoxy compounds, Carbonate esters, Catalytic conversion, Energy conservation and emission reduction
