Production of higher alcohols directly from synthesis gas is an attractive chemical process due to the high value of alcohols as fuel blends and the numerous possibilities for production of synthesis gas. Despite years of research the industrial viability of such a process is severely limited due to lack of suitable catalysts. In this work we contribute to an understanding why it has been difficult...
The potential of bimetallic Pt–Co catalysts for production of higher alcohols in high pressure CO hydrogenation has been assessed. Two catalysts (Pt3Co/SiO2 and PtCo/SiO2) were tested, and the existing literature on CO hydrogenation over Pt–Co catalysts was reviewed. It is found that the catalysts produce mainly methanol in the Pt-rich composition range and mainly hydrocarbons (and to a modest extent...
