This report presents the work done on {open_quotes}Investigation of Syngas Interaction in Alcohol Synthesis Catalysts{close_quotes} during the last three months. In this report the results on the effect of method of preparation on the catalytic properties will be discussed. Several catalyst systems containing copper and cobalt in combination with a number of other elements and supports have been extensively investigated by the IFP (Institute Francois Du Paris) group. Several investigators report difficulties in reproducing the IFP results. It is generally believed that besides the interatomic ratios, preparation conditions of the precursors, such as pH, temperature of precipitation, drying and calcination temperatures, etc., significantly influence the behavior of the catalysts. In this report we plan to examine the effect of preparative techniques on the catalytic properties of the catalysts
