“…Therefore, the industrial catalysts are typically promoted to maintain and enhance the activity and stability of CuCl 2 /γ-Al 2 O 3 . Based on the promoter chemical identity, the promoters can be classified into alkali metals (K, Na, Li, and Cs), ,,,,, alkali-earth metals (Mg, Ca, Sr, etc. ), ,,, and rare-earth metals such as La, Ce, Pr, etc. ,,,,,,− Based on the number of promoters employed in one catalyst, the promoters can be classified as mono-, bi-, and multipromoters.…”
