Abstract
A copper-zinc-aluminum methanol synthesis catalyst has been prepared using a precipitated hydrotalcite-type precursor that decomposes to a mixture of the corresponding amorphous oxides at a low temperature. TPR studies show that such a mixture is easy to reduce giving a highly dispersed catalyst. When this is mixed with a zeolite, the resulting hybrid catalyst gives C2-C4 hydrocarbons with very high selectivity. This may be useful in obtaining LPG from synthesis gas.
