Use of methanol synthesis catalysts
Thread Content
In the methanol production system using coke oven gas, the system experiences frequent fluctuations in pressure, temperature, and throughput – what impact does this have on the synthesis catalyst? Dear sea friends, welcome to share your opinions actively.
Excessive pressure fluctuations cause the catalyst to break down, while large temperature fluctuations lead to the growth of copper crystals, thereby affecting its lifespan; high-temperature fluctuations are particularly problematic. When the processing volume is too high, overheating and excessive space velocity can occur. Overheating of the catalyst affects its lifespan, while high space velocity leads to catalyst pulverization. It also results in high pressure differences, increasing energy consumption; the catalyst may become pulverized and the catalyst holder may be damaged. Coke oven gas has a high content of organic sulfur, and its levels fluctuate greatly; if desulfurization is affected, it will impact the synthesis catalysts.
