Abstract
Improved process for manufacturing methanol by reacting carbon monoxide and/or carbon dioxide with hydrogen. The reactant gases circulate downwardly in admixture with a liquid phase of inert diluent through a methanol synthesis fixed bed catalyst. The superficial velocities of the gas phase and of the liquid phase are at least 1.5 cm per second, under the reaction conditions.
