Heterogeneous catalytic process for alcohol fuels from syngas. Tenth quarterly technical progress report, April 1994--June 1994
The principal objectives of this project are to discover and evaluate novel heterogeneous catalysts for conversion of syngas to oxygenates having use as fuel enhancers, to explore novel reactor and process concepts applicable in this process, and to develop the best total process for converting syngas to liquid fuels. The current targets for isobutanol-producing catalysts are to produce an equimolar mixture of methanol and isobutanol with a productivity for isobutanol of > 50 g/Kg-hr. The authors have tested one of our most promising isoalcohol catalysts (10-DAN-55, Pd on ZnCr{sub 2}O{sub 4}) at pressures up to 1500 psi and temperatures from 400{degrees}C to 450{degrees}C at GHSV=6000 and syngas ratio = 1:2.
