Abstract

Catalytic synthesis of C2 oxygenated compounds from syngas in supercritical cyclohexane was reported in this paper. The effect of the molar ratio of media to feed on the conversion and selectivity was mainly discussed. The results showed that the selectivity of C2 oxygenated compounds in supercritical cyclo-hexane was greatly improved, and the by-products of acetic acid, acetic ester and alkanes were efficiency suppressed. Although the CO conversion was slightly declined, the space-time yield of C2 oxygenated compounds basically kept the constant at high media/feed ratio.
