The results of investigations of the synthesis higher aliphatic alcohols from synthesis gas are presented. The experiments were carried out in a high pressure fix-bed reactor. The influence of composition of synthesis gas, temperature, pressure and GHSV on an alcohol yield and a liquid product composition were determined over the catalyst 53.1 CuO, 26.8 ZnO, 6.6 Al2O3, 3.9 Fe2O3, 7.9 MoO3, 1.7 ThO2, 1.0 KOH [wt. %]. The catalyst was obtained by decomposition of citrates.
