Alcohols, other than MeOH, are synthesized from CO and H2 in the presence of a MeOH catalyst to which an alkali metal has been added, with a space velocity of the reacting gases that is more than 5 times the space velocity at which a MeOH synthesis employing only the MeOH catalyst would reach equilibrium under the same temperature and pressure conditions. Describes various details and examples. |
