Liquid Phase Methanol Synthesis on Copper and Zinc Ultrafine Particles Prepared by Gas Evaporation Method

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1999.699

Liquid phase methanol synthesis was carried out over ultrafine particle (UFP) catalysts.A very high activity was obtained over Zn UFP modified using Cu acetylacetate and LiAlH4.The rate of methanol formation on this catalyst at the steady state was about 1.8 times as high as that of a co-precipitated catalyst.
