Abstract
Together with methane, methanol is the main product of the hydrogenation of CO in the presence of platinum, palladium, and iridium, applied to Y-Al2O3, at atmospheric pressure and temperatures of 473–573 K. Dimethyl ether is also formed on platinum and palladium, while small amounts of ethanol and acetaldehyde are formed on iridium. The hydrogenation of CO in the presence of Rh and Ru leads to the formation of normal C1-C5 alcohols and C2-C5 aldehydes. Reduction of the energy of the metal-carbon bond in the platinum metals (Pd, Ir, Pt, Rh, Ru) increases their specific catalytic activity with respect to the formation of methane and oxygenated organic compounds, and increases the selectivity for higher alcohols and aldehydes.
