Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03042144A2] The invention relates to a method for the catalytic production of methanol under pressure from a synthesis gas, which contains at least hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and undesirable impurities, by means of at least one stage provided with a reactor. According to said invention, an absorption stage precedes each catalytic reaction system for producing methanol. Said absorption stage contains a catalyst material as an absorbent, which is suitable for the methanol synthesis, and operates at a temperature below the catalytic reaction temperature for the methanol production.
