Abstract

The conversion of methanol synthesis was significantly increased when supercritical 2-butanol was used. According to the property of a supercritical fluid, which facilitates heat and product removal, supercritical 2-butanol conventionally promoted the conversion of the methanol synthesis from syngas. Furthermore, supercritical 2-butanol, used as a solvent, had a catalytic effect accelerating a new reaction route. The combination of supercritical fluid and catalytic solvent effects broke through the thermodynamic limitation of the reaction efficiency.
