Between monohydric alcohols and dihydric alcohols, is the percentage of methanol present upon exiting the synthesis tower the same for both?
Monohydric alcohols are classified into low-pressure, medium-pressure, and high-pressure types, with different pure concentrations. Lydrol belongs to the medium-pressure category, and its pure concentration at the medium-pressure outlet is similar to that of other monols.
The percentage of methanol in monohydric alcohols and dihydric alcohols upon leaving the synthesis tower is dependent on the reaction temperature, the duration of catalyst use, and the type of reactor； The CO conversion rate of diols is generally higher than that of monols.
Our low-pressure monolcohol is around 5%.
This is related to the composition of the syngas; if the carbon dioxide content is high, the moisture content in the syngas will definitely be high, and a large amount of hydrogen will also be consumed.
