process for preparing an ethanol composition; thermochemically formed ethanol composition; and process for controlling isopropanol content in an ethanol production process

摘要

abstract "Cobalt-modified support hydrogenation catalysts" are catalysts, processes for producing catalysts, and chemical processes employing such catalysts. Catalysts are preferably used to convert acetic acid to ethanol. The catalyst comprises a precious metal and one or more active metals in a modified support comprising cobalt.
