All alcohols could produce H2 at 70-90% selectivity, and Rh-Ce was superior to Rh in producing H2. Methanol produced high conversion and high selectivity to H2 even at high C/O where temperatures fell to 2 and CO than the other alcohols, but produced the most chemicals. Above C/O = 1.5, ~70% of 2-propanol was converted into acetone or propylene. Up to 20% propylene was formed at C/O = 1.5. In contrast, 1-propanol gave 2 and CO. Our results suggest that acetone and olefins likely were produced primarily by homogeneous reactions after all O2 had been consumed in the catalyst. Although alkanes do not form significant oxygenates by partial oxidation at short contact times, alcohols can be made to produce predominantly oxygenates through suitable adjustments of C/O and catalyst.
