Title: NQR-NMR studies of higher alcohol synthesis Cu-Co catalysts. Final technical progress report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:50947

In recent years, due to the many technical advantages of using alcohol-gasoline blends, various processes for the production of higher alcohols from synthesis gas have been studied. The intent of this project is to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the nature of the electronic charge distribution in the vicinity of copper and cobalt nuclei in selected higher alcohol synthesis catalyst systems. Any strong perturbation in the orbital electronic charge distribution of Cu and Co is expected to sensitively influence both their catalytic properties and magnetic characteristics. The NMR and magnetic characterization studies undertaken in this investigation attempt to provide a better understanding of the correlation between magnetic and catalytic properties.
