چکیده

An extensive study of Higher Alcohols Synthesis (HAS) from syngas using alkalized MoS۲ catalysts supported on Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) is reported. Up to ۳۰wt.% of Mo and ۸wt.% K are added to the CNTs by impregnation method. The catalysts were characterized by different methods and the performance of the catalysts was assessed in a micro-reactor. TEM images showed that most of the metal particles were homogeneously distributed inside the tubes and the rest on the outer surface of the CNTs, with particle sizes in the range of ۳ to ۱۶ nm. Temperature Programmed Reduction (TPR) tests showed that increasing the amount of Mo decreased the first TPR peak from ۵۱۸ to ۵۰۳oC and increased the second TPR peak temperature from ۷۸۲ to ۸۲۵oC.  The diffraction peaks representing the characteristic K-Mo-O phase (these species can enhance formation of higher alcohols) were observed in the XRD of catalysts. The catalyst with ۲۰ wt.% Mo and ۸ wt.% K showed the highest conversion. The total alcohol selectivity reached a maximum of ۴۵.۳ wt.%        on the catalyst with ۱۵ wt.% Mo. The catalyst with ۱۵ wt.% Mo exhibited selectivity of ۳۵.۳ wt.% towards higher alcohols.

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
