Ethanol, as one of the important bulk chemicals, is widely used in modern society. It can be
produced by fermentation of sugar, petroleum refining, or conversion of syngas (CO/H2) …

Due to the phase out of lead in all gasoline grades and the adverse health and
environmental effects of MTBE, the synthesis of higher alcohols, particularly ethanol, from …

The gradual depletion of oil resources and the necessity to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions portray a concerning image of our contemporary security of liquid transportation …

Alternatives to petroleum-derived fuels and chemicals are being sought in an effort to
improve air quality and increase energy security through development of novel technologies …

Mixed alcohol synthesis is an important process for the production of oxygenates fuels, fuel
additives and other intermediates for chemical feedstocks via CO hydrogenation. The …

Recent literature on synthesis gas conversion to higher alcohols over Mo-based catalysts is
reviewed. Density functional theory calculations show that Mo-CO adsorption is weakened …

The influences of support (silica or titania) and loading of Fe promoter on the activity and
selectivity of Rh-based catalysts for the direct synthesis of ethanol from syngas were …

The present work is an investigation of how the process conditions influence the synthesis of
mixed alcohols from syngas over a K2CO3/Co/MoS2/C catalyst. The emphasis in the …

A series of activated-carbon-supported K–Co–Mo catalysts (K–Co–Mo/AC) were prepared
by using a sol–gel method combined with incipient wetness impregnation. The catalyst …

Higher alcohol synthesis (HAS) has attracted much attention owing to the wide use of C2+
OH as a synthetic fuel, an alternative fuel additive, a hydrogen carrier, and a versatile …
