C207 TYPE COMBINED METHANOL SYNTHESIS CATALYST
C207 type combined methanol synthesis catalyst was developed and produced by Research Institute of Nanjing Chemical Industrial Group. This achievement filled in the gaps in China's copper-based methanol synthesis catalysts and won the Third Prize of National Scientific and Technological Progress. It is mainly used for reaction of CO, CO2 with H2 to form methanol in a combined process of synthetic ammonia and methanol, and also for methanol synthesis at medium- or low-pressures.
