Does carbon monoxide disproportionation occur during the methanol synthesis process? 1. 2CO → C + CO2; 172.6 kJ/mol of heat is released. This is the \"disproportionation reaction of carbon monoxide\", and it is an exothermic reaction. 2. The process conditions at the methanol synthesis inlet of a certain enterprise are as follows: 1) Temperature: 190°C, peak temperature: 235°C; 2) Pressure: 4.8 MPa, pressure difference: 0.28 MPa; 3) Gas composition: H/C ratio: 1.6–2.0, CO content: 18–20%
Composition of gas entering the tower: Hydrogen: 61.42%; Carbon monoxide: 19.20%; Carbon dioxide: 7.08%; Nitrogen: 6.64%; Methane: 1.94%
