Ethanol Synthesis from Dimethyl Oxalate Hydrogenation on Cu/SiO2 Catalyst

Article Preview

Abstract:

A new method of sustainable ethanol synthesis by hydrogenating dimethyl oxalate (DMO), which is easily obtained from syngas, over a Cu/SiO2 catalyst is proposed based on previous works. The experimental results indicate that the Cu/SiO2 catalyst exhibited a high activity under the relative mild conditions of 270°C and 2MPa with ethanol selectivity as high as 88% and extremely high DMO conversion.
