Kinetics of the synthesis of higher aliphatic alcohols from syngas over a modified methanol synthesis catalyst

Kinetic investigation on the synthesis of a mixture of methanol and higher aliphatic alcohols from the synthesis gas has been conducted over a Cs-dope d Cu-Zn composite catalyst in an experimental gradientless reactor. The kin etic equation was described in a simple power law form. (C) 2001 EIsevier S cience B.V. All rights reserved.
