摘要:
A process for preparing a shell metal catalyst or a precursor of a shell metal catalyst which process includes the steps of: applying a slurry having a diluent; a catalytically active metal or a precursor compound thereof; and optionally a refractory oxide; designated hereinafter as “first refractory oxide” of an element having an atomic number of at least 20 or a precursor of the first refractory oxide; onto the surface of particles of a core carrier; forming a wet coating; and removing at least a part of the diluent from the wet coating; wherein the slurry has at least 5% w of the catalytically active metal or the precursor compound thereof; calculated on the weight of the metal relative to the weight of calcinations residue which can be formed from the slurry by drying the slurry and calcining. The invention also relates to a shell metal catalyst or a precursor of a shell metal catalyst which is obtainable by the process; and the use of the shell metal catalyst in a chemical conversion process. The invention also relates to a process for producing hydrocarbons; which process involves contacting a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen with a shell metal catalyst, wherein the catalytically active metal is a Group VIII metal which is present at least partly in metallic form.
摘要:
A method of supporting a hydrocarbon synthesis catalyst material comprising a catalytically active metal and a carrier material on a substrate comprising the steps of: (a) applying the catalyst material to the substrate; and (b) heating the catalyst material to form a catalyst material layer fixed to the substrate, characterised in that—the catalyst carrier is a porous inorganic refractory oxide or precursor therefor; the catalyst material applied in step (a) comprises 60 to 90 weight % solvent calculated on the total weight of the catalyst material layer; when the catalyst material is subjected to the heating step (b) it comprises at most 10 weight % of solvent, calculated on the total weight of the catalyst material layer; in heating step (b) the catalyst material is heated to a temperature in the range between 250° C. and 800° C.; cracks having sub-millimetre widths are uniformly formed in the layer; after step (b) the catalyst material layer has a thickness of 5-200 microns. The control of cracking of the catalyst material on the substrate, especially the presence of cracks at regular distances such that there is no continuous catalyst layer on the substrate surface, reduces any stress build-up.
摘要:
A process for the preparation of a titania catalyst or a titania catalyst carrier is described. It comprises the steps of: obtaining a wet filtercake of titania, the titania having been made by hydrolysis of a suitable titanium compound, optionally admixing the wet filtercake with one or more catalyst materials, extruding said filtercake or said admixture, and drying and/or calcining the so-formed extrudate. The wet filtercake of titania can be provided from any known route or source or reaction. These include the the wet chloride or sulphate processes. The present invention removes the need for current separate drying and calcination of the titania sulphate product prior to its admixture with a catalyst material. It provides a catalyst with increased strength, which catalyst has also been found to provide greater catalytic activity, especially in C5+ selectivity.

摘要:
The invention comprises a process for manufacturing a catalyst substrate which is a shaped porous structure, said process comprising the steps of providing non-woven fibers with an average length in the range of 4-50 mm, an average diameter in the range of 5-300 microns, and a length over diameter ratio in the range of 50 to 500 into a mould to form a fibrous aggregate with volume (V), and compressing the fibrous aggregate to form a porous structure. The compression is carried out in such a manner that the volume of the fibrous aggregate in compressed state (Vcompressed) is at most 90% of the volume (V) of the fibrous aggregate before compression. The invention further relates to the catalyst substrate prepared and to a catalyst comprising the catalyst substrate.
