The C 1 Chemistry Project - officially called ``Research and Development Program for New Technologies to Produce Basic Industrial Chemicals from Carbon Monoxide and Other Chemicals'' - was conducted in Japan over a seven-year period, from 1980 to 1986, its purpose being to develop alternative ways of producing chemicals from carbon monoxide and/or methanol. The project was implemented with the close cooperation of the academic community, government laboratories and private industry and consisted of two parts: one to develop new technologies to synthesize chemicals from mono-carbon compounds; and the other to develop new technologies to separate carbon monoxide and hydrogen using membranes. This volume gives an overview of the project describing the background, organization, process, results of research, design of plant, and new findings in catalyst chemistry. Chapter 1 deals with the progress of basic research at academic institutions and the National Chemical Laboratory for Industry which supported the joint research of companies. Chapters 2 to 7 are detailed reports on catalyst surveys, bench tests and process development of six synthetic processes.
