This easy-to-read work is a comprehensive review which focuses primarily on catalytic methanol synthesis. It includes a historic summary of the development of methanol synthesis technology, as well as extensive discussions on statistical experimental design, fabrication and operation of laboratory scale systems. This unique volume also discusses various new catalysts and processes, with special attention to the thermodynamics of methanol synthesis-especially in relation to the new liquid phase process. The comprehensive and practical approach to chemical and synfuel process development makes it an excellent reference in methanol synthesis, reactor design, and scale-up. Written as a practical guide to researchers who are involved in hands-on process research, this book is also a valuable asset to practicing chemical engineers and graduate students interested in reaction engineering, thermodynamics, catalyst development and process design.
