Abstract

A Cu/Cr₂O₃ catalyst was prepared by co-precipitation method, studied in methanol dehydrocoupling to methyl formate in different gas streams and characterized by BET, XRD, TPR, TPD of NH₃ and CO₂, etc. The results demonstrate that the catalyst can catalyze the dehydrocoupling of methanol to methyl formate in high efficiency, e.g. 99% selectivity to methyl formate at 48% conversion of methanol. The results further indicate that metallic copper might be the active species for the formation of methyl formate.
