DECREASING METHANOL TO HIGHER ALCOHOLS RATIO IN FISCHER TROPSCH PROCESS OVER MOLYBDENUM OR TUNGSTEN CATALYST

摘要

A process for controlling the ratio of methanol to C2-C5 alcohols produced in a process for making mixed alcohols by contacting a hydrogen and carbon monoxide containing feed with a molybdenum or tungsten containing catalyst under standard conditions, wherein the improvement concerns the addition of a sulfur releasing substance in the feed.
