The catalytic performances of the prepared catalysts were investigated in a stirred high pressure reactor under conditions of T = 483K, P = 2.25 MPa, and H2:CO2 = 3:1 (volume ratio). The experimental results showed that the promoted catalysts exhibited higher catalytic performance. The Mn promoted catalyst resulted in 36 of CO2 conversion and 67 of methanol selectivity, whereas the unpromoted catalyst showed 26 of CO2 conversion and 58 of methanol selectivity. {\^A}{\copyright} 2014 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.}, keywords = {Carbon dioxide; Copper compounds; Hydrogenation; Manganese; Methanol; Silica; Zinc compounds, Catalytic performance; CO2 hydrogenation; High pressure reactors; Mesoporous Silica; Methanol selectivity; Methanol synthesis; Promoted catalysts; Promoters, Catalyst selectivity}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84914133360&doi=10.4028\%2fwww.scientific.net\%2fAMM.625.289&partnerID=40&md5=8a710c7a41815be9fbdecbdab1fa5c46}, isbn = {9783038351818}, issn = {16609336}, author = {Tasfy, S.
