PURPOSE:To prepare methyl formate in high selectivity, by the gas phase dehydrogenation of methanol using a catalyst containing copper and a cement. CONSTITUTION:Methyl formate is prepared by the gas-phase dehydrogenation of methanol, in the presence of a catalyst containing copper and a cement such as Portland cement, alumina cement, etc. The catalyst can be prepared by calcining a paste of a copper compound and the cement, and reducing at 140-400 deg.C in CO stream.
