MANUFACTURE OF METHANOL FROM SYNTHETIC GAS BY USE OF PROMOTED PALLADIUM CATALYST

摘要

A catalytic process for the production of methanol from hydrogen and carbon monoxide at a temperature of from about 200 DEG C to about 400 DEG C and a pressure of from about 150 to about 20,000 psia which comprises effecting the reaction in the presence of a heterogeneous solid catalyst comprising palladium and lithium, magnesium, strontium, barium, molybdenum or a mixture thereof.
