STUDY ON A NEW METHOD AND MECHANISM OF THE LOW-TEMPERATURE METHANOL SYNTHESIS FROM CO/CO2/H2
Methanol is widely used as a feedstock for the chemical industries and at the same time as an alternative fuel which is cleaner and more efficient in fule cells 1. Commercially, methanol is produced from synthesis gas under high temperature and high pressure, using mainly Cu-Zn based oxide catalysts 2,3. However, the efficiency of methanol synthesis is severely limited by thermodynamics. For example, at 573 K and 5.0 MPa, the theoretical maximum of one-pass CO conversion is around 20 ％ 3. Therefore, developing a low-temperature process for methanol synthesis will greatly reduce the production cost and high CO conversion becomes available at low temperature.
