Abstract

Self-supporting web of brass or similar cupreous metal is catalytically activated by diffusing aluminum into its surface at low temperatures and then leaching out some of that aluminum with dilute mineral acid, preferably HNO3, or ammonium persulfate. Resulting catalyst is very effective for reaction of CO with H2 to make methanol, and web provides very good thermal conductivity for improved temperature control. Activation can be confined to one face of web. Other self-supporting catalysts can be made similarly.
