Abstract
Catalyst composition for the production of methanol and higher saturated aliphatic alcohols from synthesis gas. The catalysts consist essentially of: PA0 (i) about 0.18 to about 0.81 mol fraction of copper; PA0 (ii) about 0.045 to about 0.54 mol fraction of thorium; PA0 (iii) up to about 0.54 mol fraction of zirconium; and PA0 (iv) about 0.01 to about 0.2 mol fraction of an alkali metal.
