METHANOL SYNTHESIS CATALYST, METHOD FOR PRODUCING SUCH CATALYST AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING METHANOL

摘要

Disclosed is a methanol synthesis catalyst for synthesis of methanol via a formic acid ester wherein a reaction is performed by using a raw material gas containing hydrogen and either of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide in the presence of an alcohol as a solvent. The methanol synthesis catalyst contains Cu, Mg and Na in addition to an alkali metal formate.
