ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns the synthesis of methanol from lower hydrocarbons. The C1-3 hydrocarbons are subjected to partial oxidation over a catalyst in the presence of oxygen and steam, part of the carbon dioxide is removed from the effluent gas to adjust the ratio of hydrogen to carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, and the resulting gas is converted to methanol in a steam generating reactor. The over all economy of the process is clearly better than that of conventional processes utilising a steam reformer.
