English, Alan, and Rovner, Jerry (John Brown); Davies, Simon (Davy Process Technology). The physical and chemical properties of methanol (methyl alcohol), CH 3 OH, are summarized. The evolution of the current low pressure technology based on synthesis gas is presented. The mechanism and functionality of the methanol synthesis catalyst are discussed. Synthesis gas generation processes and feedstocks are described in detail, as are various methanol reactor configurations. The status of current research for future methanol processes, including direct oxidation routes, is summarized. Health and safety aspects of methanol storage and handling are discussed. Worldwide production and consumption data for 1992–1993 are given, together with corresponding end‐use methanol product specification requirements V.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
