VERFAHREN ZUR HERSTELLUNG VON C(PFEIL ABWAERTS)2(PFEIL ABWAERTS)+ ALKANOLEN

摘要

A liquid phase process for the manufacture of C2+ alkanols by the reaction of hydrogen with carbon monoxide in the presence of a catalyst containing ruthenium, cobalt, a halide-containing compound, and an aromatic compound substituted in adjacent ring positions by nitrogen atoms. The process embraces the use of rhodium as an additive to the catalyst system.
