Higher alcohol synthesis on iron-copper-molybdenum containing catalysts

摘要

Coprecipitated Fe, Cu, Mo catalysts doped by rare earth and/or actinide oxides have been tested in syngas reaction for the synthesis of C_1 to C_6 higher alcohols mixtures. The study of the CO dissociation gives a good estimate of the catalytic activity. On these catalysts, iron and/or molybdenum carbides are evidenced by XPS and TPD of adsorbed CO.
