Will a reduction in the CO2 component among the raw materials used for methanol synthesis affect the methanol synthesis reaction?
Thread Content
The purification adjustments resulted in a reduction of CO2 levels in the methanol synthesis feed gas to 0; as a consequence, the synthesis pressure increased and the methanol production decreased. What is the reason for this?
Originally, this reaction involves an excess of hydrogen, with less carbon dioxide; if carbon monoxide does not increase, less hydrogen will be consumed, and thus the system pressure will rise. Carbon dioxide and hydrogen combine to form carbon monoxide and water, which allows for the control of the reaction temperature while also preventing carbon monoxide from being converted into carbon dioxide!

Doesn’t the reaction of carbon dioxide with hydrogen produce methanol and water?
At the same time, many side effects will also occur
Carbon dioxide is a reactant; if there is less of this reactant, the output will definitely be lower. As for high pressure, there must be ways to control it
