Title: Modifiers in rhodium catalysts for carbon monoxide hydrogenation: Structure-activity relationships

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6119986· OSTI ID:6119986

This report is aimed at identifying interesting modified rhodium systems and elucidating structure-activity relationships in these systems with the overall goal of understanding the scientific issues in the catalytic conversion of syngas to oxygenates. Specific additives (sodium and molybdenum) are selected based on the scoping experiments. The effect of the additives on supported rhodium catalysts is then investigated. Throughout the investigation, experiments and analysis were performed on real systems instead of ideal systems. 374 refs., 82 figs., 57 tabs.
