Activity of Cs (K)-promoted Cu-MgO in the formation of oxygenates from CH₃OH/CO and CO/H₂
The selective synthesis of C₂ oxygenates, especially ethanol, from C₁ species such as CH₃OH and synthesis gas (CO/H₂) is of interest as the demand for clean fuels, including biofuels, increases. However, over alkali-promoted Cu-ZnO catalysts the synthesis of C₂ oxygenates occurs with very low select...
