  • METHOD FOR PREPARING CATALYSTS FOR PRODUCING ALCOHOLS FROM SYNTHESIS GAS
    Publication number: 20150018198
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of preparing catalysts based on molybdenum sulphide, with an alkaline promoter incorporated, said catalysts being employed in the production of alcohols, especially ethanol, from synthesis gas. The method involves reaction of molybdenum hexacarbonyl (Mo(CO)6) with sulphur, so as to generate molybdenum sulphide, in which an alkaline promoter is then incorporated, so as to obtain a solid catalyst for application in processes of production of alcohols from synthesis gas, selective for ethanol.
