title: First observation of highly efficient dehydrogenation of methanol to anhydrous formaldehyde over novel Ag-SiO2-MgO-Al2O3 catalyst.
abstract: Novel Ag-SiO2-MgO-Al2O3 catalyst prepared by sol-gel method showed extremely high activity and selectivity (both equal to 100%) in the direct dehydrogenation of methanol to anhydrous formaldehyde.
