Methanol synthesis from CO2: A mechanistic overview
Also, CO 2 may form through WGS (WaterGas Shift) reaction (eq. (4)) [ 15 ]. This reaction is usually used to adjust the CO 2 /H 2 ratio in the feed for the methanol synthesis reaction [ 40 ]. The latter process is usually performed at 250300 °C, 510 MPa, in the presence of CuO/ZnO/Al 2 O 3 as a catalyst [ 15 ].
