CO Hydrogenation on Rh-Based Catalysts for Ethanol Production

Article Preview

Abstract:

CO hydrogenation on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) supported Rh catalysts were conducted in a fixed bed reactor. The effect of reaction temperature, pressure and Mn additive on the catalytic performance was studied. The results revealed that temperature influent CO conversion and products selectivity significantly, while the effect of pressure was slightly. The temperature of 300 to 320 °C and a high pressure facilitate to synthesize ethanol with high efficiency. The highest ethanol and alcohol space time yield can be obtained on CNTs supported Rh catalyst containing 1.1% Mn.
