%X Dans le cadre des proc¨¦d¨¦s en d¨¦veloppement pour la synth¨¨se d'alcools ¨¤ partir de syngas (CO + H2), ce m¨¦moire pr¨¦sente certains r¨¦sultats r¨¦cents de l'Institut Fran ais du P¨¦trole (IFP) (France) et Idemitsu Kosan (Japon). La premi¨¨re d¨¦monstration du proc¨¦d¨¦, sous programme R et D du RAPAD-Japon, a confirm¨¦ les performances et la faisabilit¨¦. Les alcools s¨¦lectivement produits, apr¨¨s fractionnement, pr¨¦sentent de bonnes propri¨¦t¨¦s pour l'usage carburant. L'optimisation de l'ensemble constitu¨¦ par la production du syngas, la synth¨¨se, le fractionnement des alcools, a permis une simplification sensible du proc¨¦d¨¦, une optimisation sp¨¦cifique des performances, ce qui conduit ¨¤ des donn¨¦es ¨¦conomiques plus favorables. Within the framework of processes being developed for alcohol synthesis from syngas, this article describes some recent results obtained by Idemitsu-Kosan (Japan) and Institut Fran ais du P¨¦trole (IFP) (France). The first demonstration of the process as part of the RAPAD-Japan R & D program has confirmed both its performances and feasibility. The alcohols selectively produced, after suitable fractionation, present good properties as a blend for motor fuels. The optimization of the overall process for syngas production, alcohol synthesis and alcohol fractionation has led to a significant simplification of the process and to the optimization of its performances, leading to better economics.
