Abstract: Methods for producing cobalt/molybdenum catalysts having enhanced selectivity for the production of C3-C4 alcohols. The catalyst production methods allow for the selective production of beta-phase catalysts over alpha-phase catalysts. The catalyst is a calcined composition comprising: ?-CoxMoyOz, wherein x ranges from 0.5 to 2.0, y ranges from 0.5 to 2.0, and z ranges from 3.5 to 4.5, wherein said calcined composition is essentially free of catalytically-active amounts of beta-molybdenum carbide (?-Mo2 C), and wherein said calcined composition is essentially free of catalyst-promoting amounts of an alkaline metal promoter or alkaline earth metal promoter.

Abstract: The present disclosures and inventions relate to a catalyst and method for producing and using the catalyst for the selective conversion of a hydrogen/carbon monoxide mixture (syngas) to C2+ hydrocarbons, while reducing the production of carbon dioxide.

Abstract: Disclosed are heterostructured silica catalysts (modified Haider heterostructured silica) and methods of their use and preparation. The hetero structured silica catalysts include a transition metal, an alkaline earth metal oxide, and silica, wherein the transition metal, the alkaline earth metal from the metal oxide thereof, and silicon (Si) from silica are each present in the crystal lattice structure of the catalyst. The catalyst can have application in, e.g., the hydrogenation of carbon monoxide.
