The catalytic activity in the synthesis of methanol of cobalt-free and 2 atom % cobalt-containing Zn-Cr and Cu-Zn-Cr catalysts was investigated. The adsorption of hydrogen and CO was studied by FT-IR spectroscopy. It is suggested that small amounts of cobalt inhibit the catalytic activity of Zn-Cr catalysts through an inhibition of their...
