Résumé ou Introduction
In Iceland a methanol plant named in honor of the noble prize laureate George Olah operating since 2011. As substrate they use carbon dioxide and hydrogen producing methanol. Methanol is the simplest alcohol and well know since the developments of Paul Sabatier and the catalysis processes, in liquid phase at environment pressure and temperature, and is a synthetic alcohol. In the Georg Olah Plant carbon dioxide and hydrogen are mixed 1mol:3 mol together to form a syngas, being compressed and transformed under the help of catalysts to methanol (methanol synthesis). In most processes the methanol synthesis is running at a pressure range 30 bar up to 100bar and a temperature range 200°C up to 400°C. The conversion rate is given in the range of 25% up to 35% and therefor recycling of the unconverted gas in the methanol reactor back, to increase the conversion rate of synthetic gas and production rate.
