Methanol Synthesis using Cu/ZnO/AI203 Catalyst in Blended Solvent

The objective of this project is to study the effect of product selectivity on the reaction of syngas and prepared Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst at low-lemperalure for methanol synthesis via blended solvents in 3 phase slurry reactor. The operating condition for this pnxrss will be as low as 150 and 30 t...
