Abstract

Methanol was synthesized from carbon dioxide and hydrogen over various supported copper catalysts. A support was selected from the viewpoint of its acid-base properties. Acid supports showed high selectivity but low activity. Neutral and basic supports produced only carbon monoxide. Amphoteric supports showed high activities. Among them, TiO2 supports suppressed the reverse water gas shift reaction (CO formation). The role of supports was discussed on the basis of in situ infrared results.
