The present disclosure relates to a process for converting syngas to C2+ alcohols, said process comprising the steps of providing a reactor, of providing a catalyst composition and one or more acidic materials within said reactor, of providing a feed stream comprising a mixture of H.sub.2 and CO; and of contacting said feed stream with said catalyst composition and said one or more acidic materials under reaction conditions to provide product stream. Said process is remarkable in that said catalyst composition comprises an active phase comprising CuFe deposited on a carbon-containing support, and the one or more acidic materials are one or more zeolites having a Si/Al molar ratio ranging between 2 and 200.

A method for directly producing methyl acetate and/or acetic acid from syngas, carried out in at least two reaction zones, including: feeding a raw material containing syngas into a first reaction zone to contact and react with a metal catalyst; allowing an obtained effluent to enter a second reaction zone directly or after the addition of carbon monoxide so as to contact and react with a solid acid catalyst; separating the obtained effluent to obtain product of acetate and/or acetic acid, and optionally returning a residual part to enter the first reaction zone and/or the second reaction zone to recycle the reaction. By the method above, the product selectivity of the product of methyl acetate or acetic acid is greater than 93%, and the quantity of methyl acetate and acetic acid may be adjusted according to processing.
