What is the maximum appropriate amount of water produced by methanol reduction? There are over 300 methanol production units in the country, and each supplier has its own requirements regarding the water output during the catalyst heating and reduction process. What is the maximum appropriate level of water output?
If the heating and reduction method is followed, the water output is 500 kilograms per hour, but the actual amount of water produced is 1500 kilograms or 2000 kilograms. What impact does it have on the catalyst?
A high reduction temperature and an excessive rate of water production during reduction can cause the microporous structure of the catalyst to shrink, thereby affecting its overall activity
The Luchi Process 1.8 million tons methanol project features two water towers in series with one gas tower. The catalyst holder has a capacity of 200 cubic meters, the gas tower has a capacity of 100 cubic meters, and the two water towers each have a capacity of 100 cubic meters. Reduction time: 72 hours.
The water released as a result of catalyst reduction generally consists of physical water and chemical water, and this is closely related to the composition of the catalyst; the approximate amount of water produced is around 15% of the amount of catalyst used.
Around 15% is about right, depending on the copper content.
