The hydrogenation of magnesite to CH 4 and MgO offers a powerful approach for CO 2 direct utilization. To deepen the understanding of the reaction mechanisms, (Mg 5 (CO 3) 4 (OH) 2 (H 2 O) 4 was selected as a model compound to gain insights into carbonate hydrogenation. A novel Ni/Fe/ZrO 2 catalyst with ferromagnetic properties was employed to facilitate the magnetic separation of the catalyst from the solid products. Thermodynamic simulation and experiments were conducted to address key issues such as gas evolution during catalytic hydrogenation, the effects of catalyst on CH 4 selectivity, and the separation of solid products and catalyst. The results indicate that lower temperatures favor CH 4 formation, whereas higher temperatures favor CO formation. Increasing Ni loading can enhance the CH 4 selectivity. With the presence of 10Ni/Fe/ZrO 2 catalyst, 100% CH 4 selectivity can be achieved at 300 °C. Moreover, 10Ni/Fe/ZrO 2 catalyst exhibits high magnetic responsiveness, facilitating the solid separation and the recycle of the catalyst. • A novel route for the hydrogenation of magnesite to produce CH 4 and MgO is proposed. • A ferromagnetic Ni/Fe/ZrO 2 catalyst enables efficient separation of the catalyst and product. • Low temperature favors CH 4 formation, while high temperature favors CO formation. • 100% CH 4 selectivity can be achieved at 300 °C with the presence of 10Ni/Fe/ZrO 2.
