Erekson, E J; Lee, A L

A mixed basic metal oxide catalyst having the formula: xAyBzCqO is described. A is an alkali metal selected from lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium and cesium. B is a cation which has an ionization state 1 greater than the ionization state of C. B is selected from the group consisting of boron, aluminum, yttrium, and lanthanum and C is selected from the group consisting of magnesium, calcium, barium and zinc. x and y are in mole fractions of z such that when z = 1 then x = 0.001 to 0.25, and y = 0.01 to 0.25. Finally, q is a number necessary to maintain charge balance with O being oxygen.
