摘要:
A process is disclosed for producing hydrocarbons. The process involves contacting a feed stream comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide with a catalyst in a reaction zone maintained at conversion-promoting conditions effective to produce an effluent stream comprising hydrocarbons. In accordance with this invention, the catalyst used in the process preferably includes at least cobalt, rhenium, and a promoter selected from the group including boron, phosphorus, potassium, manganese, and vanadium. The catalyst may also comprise a support material selected from the group including silica, titania, titania/alumina, zirconia, alumina, aluminum fluoride, and fluorided aluminas.
摘要:
Fresh catalyst particles are added to a slurry hydrocarbon synthesis reactor and their activity increased by contact with hydrogen in-situ in the slurry in a catalyst activity increasing means, while the reactor is producing hydrocarbons. The means may be a simple, vertically oriented and hollow tube, open at the top and bottom, into which slurry and a hydrogen treat gas are passed. The treat gas acts as a lift gas which provides slurry circulation into and out of the means and back into the slurry body, while increasing the activity of the catalyst particles. During the activity increase of the fresh catalyst, partially and reversibly activated catalyst particles are rejuvenated. The activity increasing means may be inside the reactor and at least partially immersed in the slurry or external of the reactor, or both.
摘要:
Skeletal iron catalysts are prepared and utilized for producing hydrocarbon products from CO and H2 feeds by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process. Iron powder is mixed with aluminum, antimony, silicon, tin or zinc powder and 0.01-5 wt % metal promotor powder to provide 20-80 wt % iron content, then melted together, cooled to room temperature and pulverized to provide 0.1-10 mm iron alloy catalyst precursor particles. The iron alloy precursor particles are treated with NaOH or KOH caustic solution at 30-95° C. to extract or leach out a major portion of the non-ferrous metal portion from the iron, and then dried and reduced under hydrogen atmosphere to provide the skeletal iron catalyst material. Such skeletal iron catalyst is utilized with CO+H2 feedstream in either fixed bed or slurry bed type reactor at 200-350° C. temperature, 1.0-3.0 mPa pressure and gas hourly space velocity of 0.5-3.0 L/g Fe/h to produce desired hydrocarbon products.

The invention relates to a synthesis process for hydrocarbons using a mixture containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen, called Fischer-Tropsch synthesis in the presence of a catalyst comprising a support, at least one group VIII metal said process being characterized in that at least 80% of the group VIII metallic particles of the catalyst have a size comprised between D−(D.0.2) and D+(D.0.2), where D represents the average size of the metallic particles. The process can be used in a fixed-bed reactor of the catalyst or in a reactor operating in liquid phase of the catalyst.
摘要:
A process for the preparation of a catalyst useful for conducting carbon monoxide hydrogenation reactions, especially a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst, use of the catalyst for conducting such reactions, especially Fischer-Tropsch reactions, and the composition produced by said process. In the preparation of the catalyst, a solution of a multi-functional carboxylic acid having from about 3 to 6 total carbon atoms, preferably about 4 to 5 total carbon atoms, is employed to impregnate and disperse a compound or salt of rhenium and a compound or salt of a catalytic metal, or metals, e.g., copper or an Iron Group metal such as iron, cobalt, or nickel onto a refractory inorganic oxide support, e.g., titania. The rhenium, which need be present only in small amount permits full and complete reduction of the catalytic metal, or metals, dispersed by the acid. Higher catalyst activities with lower rhenium loadings are thus achieved than in previous preparations where higher concentrations of rhenium were required to both effectively disperse, and reduce the catalytic metal, or metals, during the preparation. Surprisingly, as little as about 1/10 of the rhenium is required to accomplish the reduction promotion where the dispersion is effected with the acid.
摘要:
The activity of supported cobalt catalysts for hydrocarbon synthesis is maximized by carrying out the reduction at conditions that keep both the partial pressure of water vapor and the maximum reduction temperature below critical maximum values. For titania supported cobalt catalysts, the preferred maximum water partial pressure is one atmosphere and the preferred maximum reduction temperature is 375.degree. C.
摘要:
A process for the preparation of novel binder-containing titania supports, and catalyst compositions of improved porosity prepared from such supports, useful for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. The supports are prepared by incorporating a small amount of an inorganic metal oxide binder, constituted of alumina, zirconia or silica, with titania. The catalysts are prepared by dispersing a catalytically effective amount of a metal, or metals, preferably cobalt, or cobalt plus an additional metal, or metals catalytically active in a Fischer-Tropsch reaction on the titania binder support.
摘要:
Crystalline platinum or palladium aluminosilicates are prepared by incorporating platinum or palladium onto the aluminosilicate and mixing with a methanol synthesis catalyst. Conversion of synthesis gas to low molecular weight hydrocarbons, particularly C.sub.2+3 hydrocarbons, with substantial yield and high selectivity employing these platinum or palladium aluminosilicate compositions as catalysts are also disclosed.
摘要:
A novel Fischer Tropsch iron catalyst that has unusually high selectivity for liquid hydrocarbons (low selectivity for methane) is provided. The catalyst is prepared by treatment of the usual inactive catalyst precursor with water vapor at elevated temperature either after conventional activation by syngas or concurrently therewith. Surprisingly, the "selectivation" with water vapor does not affect catalytic activity. The novel "selectivated" catalyst may be used to advantage either to increase temperature and throughput, or to increase liquid hydrocarbon selectivity, compared with conventional catalyst that has not been "selectivated".
摘要:
A supported particulate cobalt catalyst is formed by dispersing cobalt, alone or with a metal promoter, particularly rhenium, as a thin catalytically active film upon a particulate titania or titania-containing support, especially one wherein the rutile:anatase ratio of the support is at least about 3:2. This catalyst can be used to convert an admixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen to a distillate fuel constituted principally of an admixture of linear paraffins and olefins, particularly a C.sub.10+ distillate, at high productivity, with low methane selectivity. A process is also disclosed for the preparation of these catalysts.
