Direct synthesis of 2-methyl-1-propanol/methanol fuels and feedstocks: Quarterly technical progress report, December 1985--February 1986
The objective of this research project is to provide a technological and scientific foundation for the synthesis of 2-methyl-1-propanol/methanol fuels and basic chemicals from synthesis gas. Two principal tasks involve: (i) the development and optimization of Cs/Cu/ZnO support catalysts wherein the cesium component provides a very effective basic foundation that steers the synthesis toward 2-methyl-1-propanol, and (ii) the development of a kinetic reaction network that will be usable for reactor design, as well as for predictions of reaction conditions that give rise to the required 2-methyl-1-propanol/methanol composition in the reactor exit stream. The present report will concentrate on the results obtained for the Cs doped binary catalyst. This catalyst was doped with varying loadings of Cs and extensively tested under higher alcohol synthesis conditions. 3 refs., 9 figs., 11 tabs.
