Abstract

Activity and selectivity in carbon dioxide hydrogenation reactions depend on the nature of the catalyst support. On alumina, methane is the major reaction product whereas on zinc oxide methanol is formed preferably, however with formation of much carbon monoxide. Kinetic and FTIR measurements show that methanol formation is favored on a ZnO support and reinforce the hypothesis of a direct transformation of carbon dioxide to methanol.
