摘要
In order to increase activity of Cu Fe catalyst and use the mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen directly for preparation of high alcohols by reducing fatty acid esters, rare earths were used to modify the catalyst. Experiments show that yield of high alcohols increases by 3% as 1% Sm 2O 3 is added to the catalyst when the reduction is carried out under pure hydrogen. The yield greatly decreases when the reduction is carried out under the mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen. Catalysts activities modified by Y and Nd can be evidently improved and even enhanced. The yields increase by 33% and 29% when 1% Y 2O 3 and 1% Nd 2O 3 are added to the catalyst, respectively.
