Spent catalysts were characterized using N2 adsorption-desorption, FESEM/EDX, TEM, N2O chemisorption, and XPS for their physicochemical properties. The catalyst longevity study was evaluated at two days, seven days, and 14 days at 300 °C, 31.25 bar, 2160 mL/g.hr GHSV, and H2:CO2 at 10:1. The CO2 conversion and methanol yield decreased by about 5.7 and 7.7, respectively, when the reaction duration was prolonged to 14 days. A slight reduction in catalytic activity under prolonged reaction duration was found due to thermal degradation. © 2023 by the authors. date: 2023 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85151445810&doi=10.3390%2fpr11030719&partnerID=40&md5=f3e5a40493695f992b6a71a6797173fc id_number: 10.3390/pr11030719 full_text_status: none publication: Processes volume: 11 number: 3 refereed: TRUE citation: Berahim, N.H. and Zabidi, N.A.M. and Ramli, R.M. and Suhaimi, N.A.
