Catalyst for the synthesis of oxygenated organic compounds and process for its manufacture

摘要

Catalyst for heterogeneous synthesis and more particularly for the preparation of oxygenated compounds from synthesis gas (substantially H2 and CO and CO2), based on the general formula: CuTiaMbAc in which M is at least one metal selected from the group consisting of chrome, manganese, cobalt, molybdenum, rhodium platinum and iron, A is an alkali or alkaline earth metal, a is comprised within 0.1 and 0.5 and b and c may vary between 0 and 0.2. Application of these catalysts for the preparation of higher alcohol mixtures (fuel grade) C1-C4 when b and c are zero, and C1-C4 (for about 50%) and C5-C10 (for the other 50%) when b and c are other than zero.
