Abstract
Methanol steam reforming CH3OH + H20 → C02 + 3H2 was carried out over a copper-silica catalyst. It was concluded that the reaction proceeded through the route (1) 2CH3OH → HCOOCH3 + 2H2 (2) HCOOCH3 + H2O → HCOOH + CH3OH (3) HCOOH → C02 + H2 in which no carbon monoxide took part. When ethanol was admitted with water, acetic acid and ethanol were formed through steps analogous to reactions (1) and (2) above.
