Abstract

Carbon-based highly dispersed Cu and Cu ZnO catalysts were prepared with sawdust impregnated with Cu(NO3)2 and Zn(NO3)2 solution. The hydrogenation of CO2 on these carbon-based Cu and Cu ZnO catalysts was studied and compared with the Cu and Cu-ZnO-containing catalysts prepared by conventional impregnation methods using wood-based active carbon. The carbon-based Cu-ZnO catalyst prepared from Cu or Zn salt-impregnated sawdust displayed high activity for hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol.
