METHOD OF METHANOL OBTAINING Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC C07C31/04 C07C29/151 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: method is realised by a contact of a feeding flow, enriched with hydrogen and carbon monoxide, with a catalyst of methanol synthesis. The obtained in this way technological flow is cooled, condensed and subjected to separation into a gas phase and a liquid phase with raw methanol. As the feeding flow used is synthesis-gas, obtained by steam gasification of charcoal, representing a product of pyrolysis of preliminarily dried wood wastes. Before the contact of the feeding flow with the catalyst, containing in a mole ratio CuO:ZnO:Cr₂O₃:MnO:MgO:Al₂O₃:BaO, equal to 1:0.3:(0.15-0.2):(0.05-0.1):(0.05-0.1):(0.25-0.3):0.05 respectively, its compressing to pressure 3.5-4.5 MPa is performed. After that the flow is supplied into a reactor, where a temperature of 250-300°C is supported due to evaporation of recycled water, released from raw methanol, with steam from recycled water from the reactor being directed to charcoal gasification. Cooling of the technological flow is realised conductively from the feeding flow, and condensation is performed by throttling. After separation the gas phase is divided into two flows, one flow is directed for combustion into a pyrolysis chamber, and the second flow is directed to ejection with a ratio of the gas flow to the feeding flow equal to 10:1, respectively.

EFFECT: invention makes it possible to obtain methanol in a waste-free environmentally friendly way without application of additional energy resources.
