  • Catalyst compositions for converting syngas to produce higher alcohols
    Patent number: 9636665
    Abstract: Catalyst compositions for production of higher alcohols comprise a hydrotalcite or hydrotalcite-like support impregnated with molybdenum and an alkali metal. When the compositions are used to convert syngas, selectivity to higher (C2+) alcohols is increased in comparison to conversions accomplished over many other catalyst systems.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 1, 2011
    Date of Patent: May 2, 2017
    Assignee: Georgia Tech Research Corporation
    Inventors: Christopher W. Jones, Pradeep K. Agrawal, Tien Thao Nguyen
  • Carbon-supported catalysts for production of higher alcohols from syngas
    Patent number: 8999876
    Abstract: Catalyst compositions comprising molybdenum, sulfur and an alkali metal ion supported on a nanofibrous, mesoporous carbon molecular sieve are useful for converting syngas to higher alcohols. The compositions are produced via impregnation and may enhance selectivity to ethanol in particular.
