Abstract
The present invention generally relates to processes for preparation of higher alcohols such as n-butanol from lower alcohols such as ethanol by Guerbet condensation. In some aspects, the present invention relates to improvements in n-butanol yield and selectivity by the selection of process reaction conditions such as, but not limited to, mole ratio of hydrogen to ethanol, mole ratio of acetaldehyde to ethanol, mole ratio of ethyl acetate to ethanol and/or mole ratio of carbon monoxide to ethanol.
