Abstract

The initial rates of formation of methanol over a copper-zinc oxide catalyst were measured in a batch reactor at 195 to 225 °C and 17 atm pressure. The measurements were made in the absence of mass and heat transport influence. The rates were found to increase with increasing CO₂ CO ratio in the feed, and were suppressed by the presence of water. The differences between these observations and those in previous work were discussed.
