        Best catalyst is prepared by mixing ZnO and Cr₂O₃ and stirring with CrO₃ solution to produce 8ZnO·Cr₂-O₃·CrO₃·χH₂O.  This is heated in a stream of H₂O and forms 8ZnO·1.5 Cr₂O₃.  At 390°-400°, 250 atm., and a gas speed of 10,000 l. per hr., this yields 1,150-1,200 gm. of MeOH per l. of catalyst per hr.  Pure CO₂ and H₂ in the ratio 1:2 should be used, and no inert gas or S compound should be present, though H₂S can be reversibly desorbed from the catalyst.
