Popis: A novel method for the catalytic synthesis of methanol from CO 2 over Cu in the presence of Zn under hydrothermal conditions was investigated. The results showed Cu acts as an active catalyst in conversion of CO 2 into methanol. The methanol yield of 11.4% was achieved at 350 °C for 3 h with Cu 70 mmol, Zn 60 mmol, HCl 2.0 M and water filling 50%. The plausible mechanism for the hydrothermal conversion of CO 2 into methanol was also discussed.
