                  Experimental production of MeOH from H₂ and CO has been studied, with ZnO, basic ZnCrO₄ and normal ZnCrO₄ as catalysts.  The last 2 are more active than ZnO, and under high-temperatures and pressures the normal ZnCrO₄ is the most active.  With the theoretical mixture of CO and H₂ at 400° and 180 atm., a 20% conversion of CO to MeOH has been obtained.
