Methanol synthesis over industrial Cu/Zn/Al₂O₃ catalyst: kinetics selection and analysis of intraparticle diffusion limitations

Experimental data on methanol synthesis were obtained in a laboratory flow reactor over an industrial Cu/Zn/Al₂O₃ catalyst (Katalko 51-8) using fractions of 0.5-1 mm, 1-3 mm, and whole pellets (5×5 mm cylinders) at pressures of 31, 41, and 49 bar and temperatures of 200-270 °C. Based on the literature kinetics of Graaf...
