ABSTRACT:
A method of preparing methanol by reacting synthesis gas comprising hydrogen and carbon oxides in a fixed bed of methanol synthesis catalyst. The reaction of the synthesis gas is conducted under conditions where condensation of methanol occurs on the catalyst. Pressure, temperature and/or space velocity of the gas at the exit of the catalyst bed are adjusted to where conversion levels of the gas leads to formation of liquid methanol in the catalyst bed by exceeding the dew point of the reaction mixture.
