  • COMPOSITION OF CATALYSTS FOR CONVERSION OF ETHANOL TO N-BUTANOL AND HIGHER ALCOHOLS
    Publication number: 20230322651
    Abstract: A method of producing a catalyst comprises forming a decomposed material comprising a decomposed hydrotalcite, a decomposed hydrocalumite, or a combination of both, combining the decomposed material with a mixture to form a catalyst mixture, and heating the catalyst mixture to convert the metal salt to a metal oxide. The mixture comprises a metal salt and a chelating agent, and the resulting metal oxide combined with the decomposed material forms the catalyst.
