Abstract
We present here some results on Ir-Mo-Rh metallic catalysts for the sy nthesis of C-2-C-4 alcohols from syngas. It was found that Ir-Mo-Rh su pported on silica containing small amounts of Rh exhibited much higher activity for CO hydrogenation than Ir-Mo bimetallic catalyst. The sel ectivity to various alcohols did not change very much upon the additio n of Rh. The activity was greatly affected by the impregnation procedu re of the metals in the catalyst preparation.
