CATALYST FOR SYNTHESIS OF METHANOL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a catalyst for the synthesis of methanol, highly active and excellent in durability and a methanol-synthesizing method using the catalyst. SOLUTION: A catalyst for synthesis of methanol is prepared by adding respective oxides of copper, zinc, aluminum and gallium and one kind or more of alkaline earth metal elements and metal oxides of earth elements in a catalyst. Methanol is synthesized from gas containing hydrogen and carbon dioxide by using the catalyst for synthesis of methanol.
