Abstract

The decomposition of methanol was studied on Cu or Cu-Cr catalysts supportedon activated carbon, prepared by active phases decomposition from theirammonium solutions. Catalytic active centers with a complex character,consisting of copper ions in different oxidation state, were found to be present.They determine the high activity and selectivity of the catalysts.
