Chemicals from Methanol and Carbon Monoxide

  • Chapter
Industrial Applications of Homogeneous Catalysis

Part of the book series: Catalysis by Metal Complexes ((CMCO,volume 10))

Abstract

Methanol is a versatile, readily available C1-compound made from synthesis gas. Large scale industrial methanol production from CO/H2 was started up in 1925 by BASF using ZnO/Cr2O3 catalysts. The present methanol production capacity has been reported to be 21 mio t/a, while the actual demand is only in the range of 12 mio t/a. This overcapacity is mainly due to the build-up of new plants in the Midde East, Eastern Europe, New Zealand and Latin America, where surplus natural gas is available at a very low price [1,2]. The ready supply as well as the low raw material costs will keep the price of methanol low in the near future. This will stimulate methanol demand and will help to introduce new methanol-based processes for motor fuels as well as for organic base chemicals [3].
