PROCESSO PARA PRODUCAO DE ALCOOIS A PARTIR DE MONOXIDO DE CARBONO E HIDROGENIO USANDO UM CATALISADOR DE ALCALI-SULFETO DE MOLIBDENIO

摘要

A process is disclosed for producing, selectively, predominantly C1 - C5 linear, primary alcohols by reacting carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a solid catalyst consisting essentially of molybdenum sulfide and at least about 0.20 mole, per mole of molybdenum, of an alkali metal compound, at a gas hourly space velocity of at least about 3,000 hr<-><1>.
