Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a catalyst for carbon dioxide hydrogenation to methanol having 80-95% w/w of a metal and their oxides; 5-20% w/w of a structural promoter; and 5-10% w/w of a binder of the total weight of the catalyst. Further, the present disclosure also relates to a method for preparation of a catalyst for carbon dioxide hydrogenation to methanol having a) co-precipitating of 80-95% w/w of a metal precursors of the total weight of the catalyst under with a 1.0-1.8M precipitating agent followed by adding 5-20% w/w of a structural promoter of the total weight of the catalyst to obtain an active metal precipitate, b) washing and drying the active metal precipitate under conditions to obtain a dried active metal precipitate followed by calcination under conditions to form a mixed metal oxide, c) adding 5-10% w/w of a binder of the total weight of the catalyst to the 90-95% w/w mixed metal oxides along with 0.5-1.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a process for preparing a reforming catalyst, said process comprising: (a) impregnating at least one support with at least one promoter metal and at least one active metallic component to obtain a second catalytic precursor; (b) contacting the second catalytic precursor with at least one non-metallic component to obtain a third catalytic precursor; (c) coating the third catalytic precursor with at least one silanizing agent to obtain a coated third catalytic precursor; and (d) drying the coated third catalytic precursor to obtain a dried third catalytic precursor followed by calcination of the dried third catalytic precursor to obtain the reforming catalyst. The present disclosure also provides a reforming catalyst and the process for catalytically reforming a hydrocarbon feed stream by using the reforming catalyst.
