Abstract

Turnover frequency, activation energy and selectivity of the methanol reforming reaction CH3OH + H2O = CO2 + 3H2 varied greatly with the specific surface area of metallic copper, when the title reaction was carried out over copper supported on silica. It was indicated that the reaction was strongly affected by the dispersion of copper.
