The maximum safe concentrations of oxygen have been determined for mixtures containing hydrogen, methanol, formaldehyde, nitrogen, oxygen, and water. It has been shown that introduction of hydrogen into a methanol-air mixture does not affect the rate of oxidation of methanol and formaldehyde on a chrome-iron-molybdenum catalyst and raises the limiting safe concentration of oxygen. The further oxidation of the methanol which remains after conducting the reaction in the presence of a silver catalyst has been studied on iron-molybdenum and chrome-iron-molybdenum oxide catalysts with different grain sizes.
