Abstract A Cu/Cr2O3 catalyst was prepared by co-precipitation method, studied in methanol dehydrocoupling to methyl formate in different gas streams and characterized by BET, XRD, TPR, TPD of NH3 and CO2, etc. The results demonstrate that the catalyst can catalyze the dehydrocoupling of methanol to methyl formate in high efficiency,e. g. 99% selectivity to methyl formate at 48% conversion of methanol. The results further indicate that metallic copper might be the active species for the formation of methyl formate
