Abstract
Disclosed are a catalyst for synthesis of methanol from synthesis gas and a method for preparing the same. The catalyst includes a Cu—Zn—Al oxide containing CuO, ZnO and AlOin a predetermined ratio or Cu—Zn—Al—Zr oxide containing CuO, ZnO, AlOand ZrOin a predetermined ratio, in combination with a cerium-zirconium oxide obtained by a sol-gel process. As compared to the existing Cu—Zn—Al catalysts for synthesizing methanol, the catalyst disclosed herein inhibits formation of byproducts and improves yield of methanol. Therefore, it is possible to improve methanol purification efficiency and carbon conversion efficiency.
