How to Purify and Condition Methanol Synthesis Gas

  • Chapter
How to Produce Methanol from Coal

Abstract

All raw gases produced by gasifying coal require purification and, under certain circumstances, additional conditioning before they are used as synthesis gas for methanol synthesis. The task of the purification unit is to remove gas components which are detrimental to the process route or harmful to methanol synthesis, whereas gas conditioning has the purpose of providing the proper stoichiometric conditions for producing methanol from carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen, expressed by the formula

$$ SN = {H_2} - C{O_2} + C{O_2} $$
