CATALYST FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF METHANOL AND ITS DERIVATIVES AND METHOD FOR ITS PREPARATION

摘要

Catalyst, for the synthesis of methanol and its derivatives, on an alumina support, whose structure contains titanium dioxide and ions of sodium and/or aluminium, characterized in that its active sites form a structure having overall surface area in the range of 62 to 73 m2/g in the form of TiO2 clusters at an amount from 4,3 to 5,5% by weight per total catalyst mass, said TiO2 clusters enriched with aluminium III ions and/or sodium I ions at Al +3 -to-TiO2 weight ratio like that of Na+ to TiO2, about 2:1 each, and are deposited onto a previously oxidized aluminium surface being the support, preferably onto the internal aluminium surface of a tube reactor or onto alumina supports prepared during the process.
