Synthesis of C-2 oxygenated compounds from syngas in supercritical cyclohexane

Catalytic synthesis of C-2 oxygenated compounds from syngas in supercritica l cyclohexane was reported in this paper. The effect of the molar ratio of media to feed on the conversion and selectivity was mainly discussed. The r esults showed that the selectivity of C-2 oxygenated compounds in supercrit ical cyclohexane was greatly improved, and the by-products of acetic acid,a cetic eater and alkanes were efficiently suppressed. Although the CO conver sion was slightly declined, the spacetime yield of C-2 oxygenated compounds basically kept the constant at high media/feed ratio.
