Goal is to develop a catalyst and process for converting of syngas to isobutanol and to evaluate the commercial potential of the new process. This report covers preliminary testing of methanol synthesis catalysts alone and in combination with basic metal oxides. Materials tested included Cu/Zn/Al, Zn/Cr oxides, and K/Zr/Zn/Mn oxides.
