Title:
NOVEL CATALYST COMPOSITION AND MANUFACTURE OF ETHANOL SELECTIVELY THEREWITH
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS57134426
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A novel catalyst system comprises (1) a cobalt carbonyl, a hydrido cobalt carbonyl or a cobalt-containing material convertible to a cobalt carbonyl or a hydrido cobalt carbonyl, (2) a tertiary organo Group VA compound of the Periodic Table, (3) an iodine compound and (4) a ruthenium compound. A process for selectively producing ethanol comprises introducing into a reaction zone (1) methanol, (2) hydrogen, (3) carbon monoxide and the said novel catalyst and then subjecting the contents of said reaction zone to an elevated temperature and an elevated pressure for a time sufficient to convert methanol to ethanol.
