A kinetic model of methanol synthesis is presented. All parameters in the model are estimated from gas-phase thermodynamics and surface science studies. The rate-limiting step in the kinetic model was determined from Cu(100) single-crystal experiments Ito be the hydrogenation of H 2 COO ☆ to methoxide and oxide. Calculated methanol rates from the model extrapolated to industrial working conditions...
