摘要:
A process for the preparation of a catalyst useful for conducting carbon monoxide hydrogenation reactions, particularly Fischer-Tropsch reactions; the catalyst compositions, use of the catalyst compositions for conducting such reactions, and the products of these reactions. The steps of the process for producing the catalyst comprise impregnating a powder, or particulate refractory inorganic oxide solids, preferably silica, with a) a soluble compound or salt of a catalytic metal of the Iron Group, preferably cobalt, and b) a soluble compound, or salt, of a Group VIII noble metal, preferably platinum, suitably by sequential contact of the solids with a solution of (a) and a solution of (b), by sequential contact of the solids with a solution of (b) and a solution of (a), or by contact with a solution which contains both (a) and (b). The metals impregnated solids, or particulate solids precursor material, after impregnation with the Group VIII noble metal, is washed with a hydrocarbyl ammonium hydroxide or ammonium hydroxide solution, the material shaped, dried and calcined, and the metals components thereof thereafter reduced to form the finished catalyst. The catalyst formed from the hydrocarbyl ammonium hydroxide or ammonium hydroxide-washed catalyst precursor, quite surprisingly, is more active and selective in conducting a carbon monoxide hydrogenation reaction to produce hydrocarbon waxes, with lower gas make, than a catalyst of corresponding composition similarly prepared except that the catalyst was prepared from a catalyst precursor which was not washed with a hydrocarbyl ammonium hydroxide or ammonium hydroxide solution.

摘要:
A process of enhancing both the activity and the methane selectivity of a Dispersed Active Metal (“DAM”) hydrogenation catalyst is disclosed wherein the DAM undergoes low temperature oxidation in a slurry phase to form an oxidized catalyst precursor that is unique in comparison to those formed by conventional high temperature deactivation processes. The oxidized catalyst precursor, which is stable, is subsequently reduced to form an enhanced catalyst by treatment with hydrogen-containing gas at elevated temperature. The process is useful in a wide variety of DAMs formed by art-recognized techniques. The process is equally applicable to the enhanced catalysts formed from the oxidized precursors and their use in hydrogenation reactions.
摘要:
A hydrocarbon synthesis catalyst is formed by contacting the catalyst precursor with a reducing gas comprising a mixture of hydrogen reducing gas and ammonia, at elevated temperature and pressure effective for conventional hydrocarbon synthesis catalyst formation by reduction in hydrogen.
摘要:
A process for the desulfurization, and reactivation of a sulfur deactivated catalyst constituted of cobalt composited with a titania support. The sulfur deactivated cobalt titania catalyst is first contacted with a gaseous stream of molecular oxygen at temperature sufficiently high to oxidize the sulfur component of the catalyst. The sulfur oxidized catalyst is next contacted with a liquid, preferably water, to remove the oxide, or oxides of the sulfur. The catalyst is then contacted with a reducing agent, suitably hydrogen, to restore the activity of the catalyst. During the treatment there is no substantial loss, if any, of cobalt from the catalyst.

A process of enhancing both the activity and the methane selectivity of a Dispersed Active Metal (“DAM”) hydrogenation catalyst is disclosed wherein the DAM undergoes low temperature oxidation in a slurry phase to form a stable, unique oxidized catalyst precursor that is subsequently reduced to form an enhanced catalyst by treatment with hydrogen-containing gas at elevated temperature, wherein reducible promoter metals comprising one or more of rhenium, ruthenium, palladium, iron and cobalt are added to the DAM. The promoter metals are mixed with the oxidized catalyst precursor as a solution of their reducible salts. The oxidized catalyst precursors are again recovered from the mixture and treated with hydrogen-containing gas to simultaneously form the metals and reactivate the DAM catalyst.

A process of enhancing both the activity and the methane selectivity of a particulate Dispersed Active Metal (“DAM”) hydrogenation catalyst is disclosed wherein the DAM undergoes low temperature oxidation in a slurry phase to form a stable, unique oxidized catalyst precursor that is subsequently reduced to form an enhanced catalyst by treatment with hydrogen-containing gas at elevated temperature, wherein one or more promoter metal oxides of chromium, lanthanum and manganese are added to the DAM. Precursors of the promoter metal oxides may be combined with the DAMs prior to or during formation of the initial slurry, during the oxidation step or between recovery of the oxidized catalyst precursor and treatment of it with hydrogen-containing gas to reactivate the catalyst. Conversion of the precursors to the promoter metal oxides is carried out prior to the treatment with hydrogen-containing gas unless said treatment itself produces the conversion.
