PCT No. PCT/EP96/01180 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 10, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 10, 1998 PCT Filed Mar. 19, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/03937 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 6, 1997A process for the synthesis of methanol on X-ray amorphous catalysts with a copper, zinc and zirconium oxide content in relative proportions of 10 to 70 weight percent of copper, 10 to 50 weight percent of zinc and 20 to 80 weight percent of zirconium. The process for the synthesis of methanol is distinguished by high space time yields.
