Abstract

A thermodynamic study is presented for the simultaneous synthesis of C1−C4 alcohols from synthesis gas. The equilibrium composition was calculated for the gaseous mixture containing Co, H2, CH3OH, C2H5OH, C3H7OH, n-C4H9OH and H2O. Operating industrial conditions were specifically considered.

Abstract

Термодинамически исследован симультанный синтез спиртов C1−C4 из синтез-газа. Равновесный состав рассчитан для газовых смесей, содержащих CO, H2, CH3OH, C2H5OH, C3H7OH, н-C4H9OH и H2O. Особенно учитывали эксплуатационные промышленные условия.
