[Oxygenated octane enhancers: Syngas to isobutylene]. Technical progress report No. 8, January 1, 1993--March 31, 1993

Description: The goal of this program is to develop a catalyst and a process for the conversion of syngas to isobutylene. However, due to the low conversion and selectivity generally experienced by the industry in direct conversion of syngas to isobutylene, indirect conversion via branched C{sub 4} alcohol intermediates is being explored. The objectives of the current program are to develop a catalyst and process for the conversion of syngas to isobutanol and to evaluate the commercial potential of the new … more

Development of a catalyst for conversion of syngas-derived materials to isobutylene. Quarterly report No. 10, July 1, 1993--September 30, 1993

Description: Two types of basic metal oxide co-catalysts have been evaluated in combination with CU/Zn/Al oxide methanol synthesis catalyst for the production of isoalcohols, KOH on Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} or SiO{sub 2} and alkali metal impregnated Mg/Al MOSSs. Catalytic performance with the K/Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} co-catalyst is virtually identical to that of the SiO{sub 2} blank, indicating that this material is inert. In contrast, the K/SiO{sub 2} co-catalyst actually reduces the activity and selectivity of the Cu… more

Development of a catalyst for conversion of syngas-derived materials to isobutylene

Description: The initial objective of this program was to develop a catalyst and process for the conversion of synthesis gas to isobutylene via the isosynthesis process. Preliminary work directed at identifying potential catalysts for this reaction did not have promising results. Therefore, the objectives of this program were revised to the development of a catalyst and process for the conversion of synthesis gas to isobutanol. Two approaches have been investigated in this area: the direct conversion of syn… more
