PRODUCTION METHOD OF METHANOL Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC C07C31/04 C07C29/151 

FIELD: explosives.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the method for production of methanol from synthesis gas, including a stage of synthesis gas compression, a stage of catalytic conversion of synthesis gas into methanol in a reactor unit, comprising several catalytic reactors, including operations of heating and conversion of synthesis gas into methanol in each reactor, an operation of reaction products cooling and methanol release after each reactor, an operation of end gases recycling. Besides, the process is carried out under various pressures and with catalysts loaded into reactors with alternating activity under axial and/or radial direction of reagent flow in catalytic reactors in the temperature range of 160-290°C, pressure range of 3-15 MPa, volume speeds of flow 500-10000 hr^-1.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to increase efficiency of the process and to produce raw methanol of high quality.
