METHANOL SYNTHESIS CATALYST

摘要

A catalyst for methanol synthesis which is improved in an activity, a lifetime and a strength is provided. It is a catalyst for methanol synthesis comprising essential components of copper, zinc and alumina, wherein an atomic ratio of copper/zinc falls in a range of 1 to 3; an alumina content is 3 to 20 % by weight; an alumina source is alumina hydrate having a pseudo boehmite structure; and it is molded so that a density is 2.0 to 3.0 g/ml.
