EFFICIENT CATALYST FOR THE CONVERSION OF CO2 TO METHANOL

摘要

Object of the present invention is an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of methanol by catalytic hydrogenation of carbon dioxide. Furthermore, others objects of the invention are a process for the preparation of said catalysts by self-combustion of a gel and a process for the synthesis of methanol by catalytic hydrogenation of carbon dioxide. The catalyst has the following formula (Cu)x (ZnO)y (ZrO2)z supported on mesoporous silica.
