Direct conversion of syngas to ethanol over Rh/Mn-supported on modified SBA-15 molecular sieves: Effect of supports

Effect of syngas conversion and catalyst reduction temperature in the synthesis of ethanol: concentration of water vapor in mesoporous Rh/MCM-41 catalyst

“…The rhodium-based catalysts are among the most selective catalysts reported to convert syngas into ethanol [5,6]. However, few reports are found using mesoporous silica as catalyst support [7][8][9][10], although various mesoporous materials have been applied in other catalytic systems showing interesting results [11][12][13]. Mesoporous silica MCM-41 has 1D-hexagonal porous arrangement with a pore diameter of 1.6-10 nm and a wall thickness of around 0.8 nm [14,15].…”

Efficient synthesis of biodiesel over well-dispersed sulfated mesoporous SiO 2 colloidal spheres

“…The MSCSs were prepared through a versatile solution sol-gel method based on our previous reports [25][26][27]. In a typical synthesis procedure, 80 mg of M-6 and 15 mL absolute ethanol were transfered to a roundbottom flask.…”

Effect of Fe impregnation sequence on ethanol synthesis from syngas over Mn and Fe promoted Rh/γ-Al2O3

“…Therefore, exploring high effective catalysts was still a challenging problem for ethanol synthesis from syngas directly. Rh-based catalysts have been on focus in the literature for ethanol synthesis due to its relatively higher selectivity and simple products [4,5]. The promoters of Rh-based catalysts such as Mn, Fe, Li, Ce and so on had been well screened.…”
