Process using catalytic composition for the conversion of syngas to higher alcohols

Process for converting syngas to C2+ alcohols said process comprising the following steps:

• a) providing an installation comprising at least one reactor having one or more catalytic beds;
• b) providing a catalyst composition and one or more acidic materials within said at least one reactor;
• c) providing a feed stream comprising a mixture of H2 and CO;
• d) contacting said feed stream with said catalyst composition and said one or more acidic materials under reaction conditions to provide product stream;
• characterized in that
• said catalyst composition comprises an active phase comprising CuFe deposited on a carbon-containing support, the total content of iron and copper ranging from 1 to 10 wt. % based on the total weight of the catalyst composition and as determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, and the one or more acidic materials being one or more zeolites having a Si/Al molar ratio ranging between 2 and 200 as determined by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy.
