The rate of Methanol synthesis over a Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 (60:30:10) catalyst has been measured using CO2/H2 (10:90) and CO/CO2/H2 (10:10:80) streams at 433, 443, 453, 463 and 473 K. Using the CO2/H2 stream, it requires 12 กม 103 s to achieve steady-state performance; this time reduces to 5.4 กม 103 s on increasing the temperature to 463 K. Using the CO/CO2/H2 stream, steady State performance is not achieved even after 14.4 กม 103 s at 433 K but is achieved after 9 กม 103 s at 463 K. Significant deviations from steady state behavior (~40% of steady state) are observed only at 453 K and only using the CO2/H2 feed when gas %K Methanol Synthesis %K Cu/ZnO/Al< %K sub> %K < %K span style=" %K font-family:Verdana %K " %K > %K 2< %K /span> %K < %K /sub> %K < %K span style=" %K font-family:Verdana %K " %K > %K O< %K /span> %K < %K sub> %K < %K span style=" %K font-family:Verdana %K " %K > %K 3< %K /span> %K < %K /sub> %K < %K span style=" %K font-family:Verdana %K " %K > %K Catalyst %K Oscillations %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=111011
