Structure–activity relationships of Co-modified Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalysts applied in the synthesis of higher alcohols from synthesis gas

Recent Developments in the Conversion of Synthesis Gas to Short‐Chain Alcohols over Cu‐Co‐Based Catalysts

“…In a first approach, the general preparation route for the ternary catalysts was adopted, while Cu was gradually replaced by Co : the precursors were co‐precipitated by adding a 1.2 M Na 2 CO 3 solution to a 1 M solution containing cobalt, copper, zinc and aluminum nitrates in the desired composition. Co‐precipitation was performed at 338 K and under vigorous stirring applying a constant pH of 7, followed by additional 2 h aging without pH control.…”

Cobalt–copper based catalysts for higher terminal alcohols synthesis via Fischer–Tropsch reaction

“…Various types of heterogeneous catalysts including Rh noble metal [11][12][13][14][15] , CoCu [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] and CuZn [29,30] mixed metals as well as hydrodesulfurization-type MoS 2 [31][32][33] were all tested for higher alcohols synthesis via CO hydrogenation. CoCu-based catalysts were found to be among the most promising ones for various reasons.…”

Effective hydrogenation of carbonates to produce methanol over a ternary Cu/Zn/Al catalyst

“…These results veried that the formation of interface between Cu and Zn/Al oxide, which enable an intimate contact between Cu species and oxide matrix. 45 catalyst. TEM imagines of Cu/Zn/Al catalyst with different copper content in Fig.…”
