METHODS OF MAKING IMPROVED COBALTMOLYBDENUM-SULFIDE CATALYST COMPOSITIONS FOR HIGHER ALCOHOL SYNTHESIS

摘要

This invention improves prior methods of making cobalt-molybdenum-sulfide catalysts for alcohol production from syngas. In one aspect, improved methods are provided for making preferred cobalt-molybdenum-sulfide compositions. In another aspect, processes utilizing these catalysts for producing at least one C1-C4 alcohol, such as ethanol, from syngas are described.
