Abstract: A process for the production of methanol from hydrogen and carbon monoxide includes contacting the hydrogen and carbon monoxide with a liquid in at least one bubble or loop or jet loop reactor. The liquid comprises at least one solvent, an alcohol and/or an amine as a nucleophilic promoter, optionally an additional base and a catalyst, the catalyst comprising a transition metal and at least one Lewis base ligand. At least one device is provided for heat removal from the reactor. Methanol is formed as a product.
Abstract: A process for catalyzed reaction of CO and H2 into methanol includes the step of reacting the CO and H2 with a catalyst comprising a transition metal and at least one Lewis basic ligand together with at least one nucleophilic promoter so as to produce the methanol as a product.
