Abstract

A process for the preparation of methanol by reacting a gaseous mixture of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen at an elevated temperature and under superatmospheric pressure over a catalyst which contains zinc, copper and aluminum, the catalyst being prepared from a co-crystalline material of the formulaCu2.2 Zn2.8 (OH)6 (CO3)2,containing aluminum hydroxide as a structual promoter, by calcination and reduction at from 160° to 350° C. The novel catalyst has the advantage of giving a substantially increased space-time yield and having a longer life.
