METHOD OF SYNTHESIS OF METHANOL AND INSTALLATION FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2025 - IPC C07C29/151 C01B3/34 C07C31/04 B01J19/00 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: present invention relates to a method for synthesis of methanol, as well as to an apparatus for realizing said method. Proposed method includes the following stages: (a) a step for primary reforming of methane-containing gas, at which converted gas is obtained; (b) a methanol synthesis step carried out in a methanol synthesis loop equipped with a methanol synthesis reactor; (c) a step for removing the purge gas from the methanol synthesis loop. Purge gas from step (c) is fed to the step of reforming the purge gas to obtain a converted purge gas. Obtained converted purge gas is mixed with gas circulating in the methanol synthesis loop and the converted gas from step (a) to form synthesis gas which is fed to step (b) into a methanol synthesis reactor.

EFFECT: high efficiency of the methanol synthesis process, low carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere and high environmental friendliness of the process, high degree of conversion of carbon-containing raw material and hydrogen, as well as reduced metal consumption and complexity of secondary reforming equipment.
