title: High activity and selectivity of Ag/SiO2 catalyst for hydrogenation of dimethyl oxalate.
abstract: Ag/SiO(2) prepared by a sol-gel process is highly effective for selective gas-phase hydrogenation of dimethyl oxalate to corresponding alcohols. The catalysts are of great potential as industrially viable and novel catalysts for the production of methyl glycolate and ethylene glycol.
