British Patent 286,284, Mar. 3, 1927. Chem. Abs., vol. 23, 1929, p. 155. Catalysts of high mechanical stability, especially those of the metal oxide type, are obtained by adding H2O soluble Mg salts such as the sulfate, chloride, or nitrate to the other components. Gives examples of the use of ZnO with MgCl2 together to form a mass, which, after heating, is treated with chromic acid or alkali metal dichromate to form a catalyst suitable for MeOH production from CO and H2 at 400º-450º under 200 atm. pressure. |
