Abstract
The partial oxidation of methanol was investigated in a mixed flow reactor at atmospheric pressure. A lean methanol-air mixture was passed over a commercial iron-molybdenum oxide catalyst to obtain steady-state reaction rates at temperatures from 170 to 367 °C. Transient experiments were also performed at 170 °C, where the principal products were formaldehyde, water, dimethyl ether, methyl formate, and methylal. The results suggest that OCH 3 on the surface plays an important part in the reaction sequence.
