Abstract
Hydrogenation of carbon monoxide on Ru-Mo-Na and related catalysts has been studied at 255°C under 86 kg cm −2. A series of straight chain primary alcohols together with hydrocarbons were formed on these catalysts. A Ru-Fe-Na/A1 20 3 catalyst had a considerable activity for the formation of higher alcohols; however, it gave a low alcohol selectivity. Both catalysts of Ru-Mo-Na/active carbon and Ru-Mo-La/A1 20 3 showed a high activity for alcohol synthesis; however, more than 70% of the producted alcohols was methanol. The Ru-Mo-Na/A1 20 3 catalyst prepared from RuC1 3 as the ruthenium source was preferrable to the ouher catalysts, because it showed an appreciable activity for alcohol synthesis and had a good selectivity for higher alcohols.
