Abstract: Spectroscopic characterization of the active base of an industrial catalysts and NC208 modlfied copper-based catalysts for methanol synthesis has been carried out by means of XRDand FTIRrnethods.The experimental results showed that active site on functioning copper-based catalysts for methanol synthesis is probably Cu20-Cu+-O-Zn2+/Al2O3-MOx and that the surface concentration of Cu+-site on functioning NC208, prepared by adding small amount of the metal oxide MOx.to industrial catalyst C207, was higher than that of C207 catalyst, and that the surface of functioning NC208 catalyst had higher Cu+/Cu0 ratio and valence stability than that of C207 These pecullarities have close a relation with more persistent activity and higher thermal stability than modified NC208 catalyst.
