Catalytic reduction (Hydrogenation) of carbon monooxide with H2 under high pressure and temperature gives methyl alcohol. What is this process is known as? Correct Answer BASF process

Currently, a Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst system has been employed industrially in MeOH synthesis for over half a century (a worldwide demand of 75 Mtons•year−1). It was run mostly at elevated pressures. (5–10 MPa) and high temperature (493–573 K) by feeding a CO (5%)-CO2 (5%)-H2 syngas stream.
