Claims26
A method for producing 1-octanol comprising a contact step between ethanol, n-hexanol and two catalysts A and B, wherein catalyst A comprises:
- i) a metal oxide comprising the following metals:
- M1 is a divalent metal selected from Mg, Zn, Cu, Co, Mn, Fe, Ni, Ca and any mixture thereof,
- M2 is trivalent Ga;
- and
- ii) a noble metal selected from Pd, Pt, Ru, Rh, Re and any mixture thereof;
- and catalyst B comprises a metal oxide comprising the following metals:
- M3 is a divalent metal selected from Mg, Zn, Cu Co, Mn, Fe, Ni, Ca and any mixture thereof,
- M4 is a trivalent metal selected from Al, La, Fe, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni and any mixture thereof,
- with the condition that catalyst B comprises at least Cu, Ni or any combination thereof, wherein the Ni comprises divalent or trivalent Ni or any mixture thereof.
