Regarding methanol synthesis
Thread Content
Dear sea friends: Do you have any good methods for reducing the ethanol produced alongside methanol synthesis in actual production processes? Alright, let’s have everyone discuss it!
Synthesis processes are optimized using a separator; the separator is replaced with a column-type separator, and distillation is carried out with side-stream extraction.
It should be possible to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the reaction gas appropriately; generally, the higher the carbon dioxide content, the more side reactions involving methanol occur.
Some domestic articles suggest that increasing CO2 levels can suppress certain side reactions and reduce the formation of polycyclic hydrocarbons! I wonder if anyone has detailed information on this topic!
So, the focus is on the synthesis process, primarily the synthesis temperature and the composition of the syngas.
