Methanol catalyst
Thread Content
Excuse me? At present, the ethanol content in most crude methanol in China is above 1000, with only rarely reaching 600. Is there anyone in the group who can reduce the ethanol content in crude methanol to below 300? The company is currently planning to produce ethanol and methanol products in lower quantities; we would appreciate your advice! Thank you!
Relying solely on catalysts is not sufficient; new catalysts have good performance, allowing the ethanol content in crude methanol to be kept relatively low. As the activity of the catalyst changes, the ethanol content gradually increases. Therefore, reducing the ethanol content through distillation and controlling it is a reliable approach.
Yes, the ethanol content in crude methanol is related not only to the performance of the catalyst but also to reaction conditions and gas composition. Rather than making great efforts to control the ethanol content in crude methanol, it is better to do so through a distillation process – this can be achieved simply by adjusting the point at which ethanol is extracted
The ethanol content in crude methanol is related not only to the catalyst selectivity but also significantly to the H/C ratio in the synthesis loop; pay attention to analyzing the H/C ratio of the gas entering the tower. Increasing the circulation ratio can raise the H/C ratio of the gas entering the tower and reduce the ethanol content in the crude alcohol.
