ABSTRACT:
Methanol synthesis over a catalyst derived from an alloy of copper and/or a platinum group metal and a highly oxidizable metal such as a rare earth metal can be carried out at unusually low temperatures such as 70.degree. C. and using synthesis gas deficient in hydrogen. The process life of the catalyst is no longer if the starting alloy contains a further metal such as aluminum or manganese. The synthesis gas should preferably be very pure and substantially free of carbon dioxide and water vapor. The process can be advantageously carried out using the catalyst suspended in an inert liquid.
