Catalyzed vapor phase process for making alcohols

A catalyzed, continuous vapor phase process to convert a C2 or higher alcohol and, optionally, one or more C1 or higher alcohols, for example methanol and ethanol, to a mixture containing at least one higher molecular weight alcohol, for example, isobutanol, over a catalyst which is essentially magn...

Zusammenfassung:A catalyzed, continuous vapor phase process to convert a C2 or higher alcohol and, optionally, one or more C1 or higher alcohols, for example methanol and ethanol, to a mixture containing at least one higher molecular weight alcohol, for example, isobutanol, over a catalyst which is essentially magnesium oxide. The process also may have a lower aldehyde and/or ketone in the feed.
