ABSTRACT:
A process for converting synthesis gas (CO+H.sub.2) to aliphatic alcohols containing at least 2 carbon atoms comprises the steps of passing the synthesis gas first through a catalyst zone comprising (a) Co metal and/or Co oxide and (b) MgO and/or ZnO (preferably MgO), and then through a catalyst zone comprising (c) Cu metal and/or Cu oxide and (d) ZnO.
