Abstract
The catalytic performance of bulk aluminium-nickel-copper based cataly st was investigated with regard to alcohol synthesis. It was shown tha t, in spite of forming methanol as the main product, these catalysts a re promising for the production of higher alcohols. Higher activation temperature increased the production of higher alcohols. The change of the salt concentration decreased the selectivity, while the pH had ba sically no effect on the selectivity.
