Abstract
A new route of methanol synthesis, at 443 K and under pressurized conditions, from carbon dioxide and hydrogen through formic ester was investigated, by using Cu-based catalysts. This one-pot reaction consisted of three steps: 1. formic acid synthesis from CO 2 and H 2, 2. esterification of formic acid by ethanol to ethyl formate, and 3. hydrogenolysis of ethyl formate to methanol and ethanol.
