Creators

Description

This patent describes a catalyst composition suitable for the conversion of mixtures of carbon monoxide and hydrogen to alcohols, the catalyst composition having the formula: Cu/sub a/UM/sub b/A/sub c/O/sub x/, where M is one or more metals selected from the group consisting of Al, Pd, Mn, Cr, Fe, Co, Zn, Ce, V, Ru, Rh, Re, Os, Pt, Ir, Ag, Ti, La, and Zr; A is an alkali of alkaline earth metal or mixture thereof; a is from 0.01 to 5.0; b is a positive number up to 5.0; c is a positive number up to 5.0 selected so that the catalyst composition contains more than 2% by weight of metal A; and x is a number such that the valence requirements of the other elements for oxygen are satisfied
