Abstract

The synthesis of methanol by the catalytic hydrogenation of carbon monoxide under pressure is effected in the absence of iron, that is to say, the catalytic materials must be free from iron, the inner walls of the reaction chamber must not consist of iron and the reaction gases must be freed from iron particles or volatile iron compounds such as iron carbonyl. The reaction conditions may be varied by the use of temperatures of 250-600 DEG C. and of pressures from 50 atmospheres upwards, the resulting methanol being either pure or mixed with higher alcohols. Examples are given of the use of a mixture of chromium oxide and manganese oxide in a copper-lined tube and of a mixture of chromium oxide and zinc oxide in an aluminium-lined reaction vessel, the gases being circulated through the reaction chamber and condenser. Other contact substances mentioned are a mixture of copper oxide and chromium oxide, or of the oxides of cadmium and vanadium; metal alloys such as chromium-manganese and copper-zinc; masses containing oxides non-reducible under the conditions of working, e.g. uranium and aluminium; and mixtures of such metals as copper, silver, lead and zinc with a metal oxide or salt acting as a promoter. When contact masses containing a difficultly-reducible metal oxide with a little potassium carbonate are employed, and preferably with a higher percentage of carbon monoxide and a reduced velocity of the gas current, higher alcohols such as propyl, butyl and amyl alcohols are formed in addition to methanol. In every case, nickel and cobalt must be excluded from the catalytic materials. Specifications 1325/13, [Class 8 (ii), Air and gases, Treating &c.], 20488/13, 227,147, 228,959, 229,714, 229,715, 231,285, 237,030 and 238,319, are referred to.
