Abstract

Hydrogenolysis of ethyl formate to methanol and ethanol has been found to proceed at moderate temperatures and pressures. Copper-based catalysts having an open pore structure have the greatest activity and selectivity for the hydrogenolysis reaction. Small amounts of CO, CO₂ and ethyl acetate are formed as byproducts at atmospheric pressure, but these are reduced by operation at higher hydrogen pressures.
