The synthesis of higher oxygenates from CO related reactions
- Univ. of Akron, OH (United States). Dept. of Chemical Engineering
Higher oxygenate synthesis over Rh/SiO{sub 2} catalyst from CO hydrogenation, ethylene addition, and methylene chloride addition to syngas has been studied. The insertion of linear CO into the adsorbed alkyl intermediates is the key step in the formation of higher oxygenates from CO related reaction. A good understanding of the reactivity of alkyl group towards hydrogenation and CO insertion reaction steps is required for the design of a selective catalyst for C{sub 2+} oxygenate synthesis. This paper reports the use of in situ IR and dynamic approach to study the nature of active sites and elementary steps involved in the higher oxygenate synthesis from CO/H{sub 2} and CO/H{sub 2}/CH{sub 2}Cl{sub 2} reactions.
