PREPARATION OF SUPPORTED CATALYSTS BASED ON METAL/METAL OXIDE THROUGH PREVIOUS CHEMICAL NANOMETALLURGY IN DEFINED REACTION SPACES OF POROUS CARRIERS USING ORGANOMETALLIC AND/OR INORGANIC PRECURSORS AND METAL-CONTAINING REDUCING AGENTS Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC B01J37/02 B01J29/72 H01M8/06 B01J23/06 C07C31/04 B82B1/00 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: method is described for preparing a catalyst with a porous carrier, at least one active metal selected from a group consisting of copper, silver and gold, and at least one promoter selected from a group consisting of zinc, tin and aluminium, which is suitable for methanol synthesis. A porous carrier with specific surface area of at least 500 m²/g is prepared. At least one precursor active metal is deposited on the porous carrier, where the precursor active metal contains at least one active metal in reduced form, as well as at least one group which is bonded to the atom of the active metal through a bonding atom selected from nitrogen and phosphorus atoms. The active metal precursor is reduced using a reducing agent which includes at least one promoter metal, and at least one organic group which is bonded to the promoter atom through a carbon atom, and the reducing agent is converted to the promoter. Also described is a methanol synthesis catalyst prepared using the above described method, with a porous carrier, as well as at least one active metal deposited on the carrier and at least one promoter deposited on the carrier. The porous carrier has specific surface area of at least 500 m²/g. The active metal has specific surface area of at least 25 m² _{active metal}/g_{active metal} and the promoter has specific surface area of at least 100 m²/g_promoter. Use of this catalyst is also described.

EFFECT: design of an efficient method of preparing and using methanol synthesis catalysts.
