Cobalt-copper based catalysts for higher terminal alcohols synthesis via Fischer-Tropsch reaction

CoCu-based catalysts prepared through oxalate precipitation show good performance for higher terminal alcohols synthesis via CO hydrogenation. Both long-chain C8-C14 1-alcohols and short-chain C2-C5 alcohols can be formed using “CoCuMn” and “CoCuMo” or “CoCuNb” catalysts.127
