Zeolite supported mono- and bimetallic systems: structure and performance as CO hydrogenation catalysts Original Research Article

Preparation, characterization and the CO hydrogenation over mono- and bimetallic catalysts supported on zeolite have been highlighted. The metal/zeolite system was found to contain highly dispersed metal particles which influence the mode of CO chemisorption, its hydrogenation leading to oxygenates and hydrocarbons. Various factors, like metal support interaction, effect of the second metal, etc. are considered in explaining the CO hydrogenation.
