Abstract
An investigation has been made of the hydrocarbonylation of methanol w ith an equimolar mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen at 20.0 MPa a nd 220 degrees C on homogeneous cobalt catalysts in the presence of di fferent solvents and promoters. The optimum composition of the catalyt ic system for the production of ethanol as the main reaction product u nder the given conditions has been determined. (C) 1997 Elsevier Scien ce Ltd.
