Resumen:
The gas-phase synthesis of high molecular weight compounds of application as liquid transportation fuels from 2-hexanol was studied on Cu-Mg-Al mixed oxides with different copper content (Z: 0.3-61.2%) and a Mg/Al =1.5 molar ratio. Catalysts were prepared by coprecipitation and characterized by several techniques such as BET surface area, XRD, TPD of CO2, TPR and N2O decomposition. Cu-Mg-Al mixed oxides are active and selective for the upgrading of 2-hexanol toward liquid fuels, i.e., C9-C18+ compounds with low oxygen content. Catalyst activity and selectivity depend on Z, as well as the quality of the products and the kind of reaction mechanism leading to them.
