Abstract

Gas conversion catalysts which possess a high resistance to catalyst poisoning such as sulfur and/or chlorine-containing compounds, comprise a catalyst composite of copper, zinc and aluminum compounds containing at least one metal selected from the metals consisting of groups IVB, VB, VIB and VIIB of the Periodic Table. This catalyst composition may be used to synthesize methanol from a feedstock of carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
