A method for the production of methanol and elevated alcohols and, in this case, for suitable catalyst system

摘要

A catalytic system and process for producing mixtures of methanol and higher alcohols from synthesis gas, the catalytic system comprising zinc, chromium, copper, one or more alkaline metals, and possibly one or more metals chosen from molybdenum, manganese, lanthanum, cerium, aluminum, titanium and vanadium, either all or only part of said elements being chemically bonded to oxygen and/or together.
