Abstract:
The invention relates to a method to start up a Fischer-Tropsch process. A catalyst with a latent activity is used. The catalyst comprises titania, cobalt, promoter, and chlorine. The catalyst comprises more than 0.7 and less than 4 weight percent of the element chlorine, calculated on the total weight of the catalyst.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for start-up and operation of a Fischer-Tropsch reactor comprising the steps of: providing a reactor with a fixed bed of Fischer-Tropsch catalyst precursor that comprises cobalt as catalytically active metal; supplying an initial hydrogen containing gaseous feed stream to the reactor, at a reduction temperature and pressure; supplying a further gaseous feed stream comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogen to the reactor; converting carbon monoxide and hydrogen supplied with the second gaseous feed stream to the reactor into hydrocarbons at a reaction temperature, wherein the reaction temperature is set at a value of at least 200° C. and hydrocarbons are produced.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of preparing acetylene (C2H2), the method at least comprising the steps of: a) providing a methane-containing stream; b) subjecting the methane-containing stream provided in step a) to non-catalytic pyrolysis, thereby obtaining carbon and hydrogen; c) reacting the carbon obtained in step b) with CaO, thereby obtaining CaC2 and CO; d) reacting the CaC2 obtained in step c) with H2O, thereby obtaining acetylene (C2H2) and Ca(OH)2; e) decomposing the Ca(OH)2 obtained in step d), thereby obtaining CaO and H2O; f) using the CaO as obtained in step e) in the reaction of step c).
Abstract:
The invention concerns a process for preparing a chlorine comprising catalyst by (a) providing a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst comprising titania and at least 5 weight percent cobalt; (b) impregnating the catalyst with a solution comprising chloride ions; and (c) heating the impregnated catalyst at a temperature in the range of between 100 and 500° C. for at least 5 minutes up to 2 days. The prepared catalyst preferably comprises 0.13-3 weight percent of the element chlorine. The invention further relates to the prepared catalyst and its use.
