A Study of Methyl Formate Production from Carbon Dioxide Hydrogenation in Methanol over a Copper Zinc Oxide Catalyst

A preliminary study of the production of methyl formate (MF) from CO 2 hydrogenation in liquid methanol was carried out over a Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 based catalyst which was synthesized by a precipitation technique following a well established route. The effects of amine concentration, hydrogen pressure, tem...
