OSTI ID:5111449
Hydrogenation of carbon monoxide over supported rhodium catalyst to produce hydrocarbons and a trace amount of oxygenated compounds was studied. The product distribution was sensitive to the ratio of CO/H/sub 2/, the reaction temperature and the support. Compared with iron, nickel and ruthenium catalysts, the rhodium catalyst is more selective for the formation of ethylene and propylene. 13 refs.
