An artificial neural network (ANN) is firstly applied to CO2 hydrogenation
catalyst design. CO2 catalytic hydrogenation activity is represented as a f
unction of the catalyst composition and reaction condition. After training,
the network can predict CO2 catalytic hydrogenation activity and design CO
2 hydrogenation catalyst successfully. The estimated results are in good ag
reement with the experimentally observed ones. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Lt
