Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A catalyst for synthesizing an alcohol from a gaseous mixture comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide, the catalyst being a mixture of catalyst particles α which convert carbon monoxide into an oxygenate, and catalyst particles β which convert an aldehyde into an alcohol.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A catalyst for synthesizing an alcohol from a gaseous mixture comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide, the catalyst being a mixture of catalyst particles α which convert carbon monoxide into an oxygenate, and catalyst particles β which convert an aldehyde into an alcohol, each of the catalyst particles α and the catalyst particles β being in the form of a supported catalyst, and a volume ratio in terms of [catalyst particles β prior to mixing]/[catalyst particles α prior to mixing] being 2.5 to 7. 2. The catalyst for synthesizing an alcohol according to claim 1 , wherein the catalyst particles α comprise rhodium and the catalyst particles β comprise copper. 3. A method for producing an alcohol, comprising contacting a gaseous mixture comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide with the catalyst for synthesizing an alcohol according to claim 1 . 4. A method for producing an alcohol, comprising contacting a gaseous mixture comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide with the catalyst for synthesizing an alcohol according to claim 2 . 5. The catalyst for synthesizing an alcohol according to claim 1 , wherein each of the catalyst particles α and the catalyst particles β independently comprise a catalyst metal supported on a porous carrier selected from the group consisting of silica, zirconia, titania, magnesia, alumina, activated carbon, and zeolite.
