摘要:
The present invention relates to improved catalyst compositions, as well as methods of making and using such compositions. Preferred embodiments of the present invention comprise catalyst compositions having high melting point metallic alloys, and methods of preparing and using the catalysts. In particular, the metallic alloys are preferably rhodium alloys. Accordingly, the present invention also encompasses an improved method for converting a hydrocarbon containing gas and an atomic oxygen-containing gas to a gas mixture comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide, i.e., syngas, using the catalyst compositions in accordance with the present invention. In addition, the present invention contemplates an improved method for converting hydrocarbon gas to liquid hydrocarbons using the novel syngas catalyst compositions described herein.

The present invention relates to thermally stable supports and catalysts for use in high temperature operation, and methods of preparing such supports and catalysts, which includes adding a rare earth metal to an aluminum-containing precursor prior to calcining. The present invention can be more specifically seen as a support, process and catalyst wherein the thermally stable support comprises two rare earth aluminates of different molar ratios of aluminum to rare earth metal, and optionally, alumina and/or a rare earth oxide. More particularly, the invention relates to the use of noble metal catalysts comprising the thermally stable support for synthesis gas production via partial oxidation of light hydrocarbon (e.g., methane) with minimal deactivation over long-term operations and further relates to gas-to-liquids conversion processes.

Lanthanide-promoted rhodium-containing supported catalysts that are active for catalyzing the net partial oxidation of methane to CO and H2 are disclosed, along with their manner of making and high efficiency processes for producing synthesis gas employing the new catalysts. A preferred catalyst comprises highly dispersed, high surface area rhodium on a granular zirconia support with an intermediate coating of a lanthanide metal and/or oxide thereof and is thermally conditioned during catalyst preparation. In a preferred syngas production process a stream of methane-containing gas and O2 is passed over a thermally conditioned, high surface area Rh/Sm/zirconia granular catalyst in a short contact time reactor to produce a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of synthesis gas (i.e., a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen), typically labeled syngas. More particularly, the present invention relates to a regeneration method for a syngas catalyst. Still more particularly, the present invention relates to the regeneration of syngas catalysts using a re-dispersion technique. One embodiment of the re-dispersion technique involves the treatment of a deactivated syngas catalyst with a re-dispersing gas, preferably a carbon monoxide-containing gas such as syngas. If necessary, the catalyst is then exposed to hydrogen for reduction and further re-dispersion.

Embodiments include methods and apparatus for mixing feedgases and producing synthesis gas. The apparatus includes a vessel containing a mixing system comprising one or more channels and a reaction zone downstream of the mixing system. A first feedgas and a second feedgas are separately injected into different injection portions of each channel, such that the second feedgas is injected in an acute direction into the first feedgas flowstream. The injected feedgases thereafter mix in a mixing portion of the channel. The mixing portion of each channel may have a reduced cross-sectional area so as to increase the total velocity of the feedgases while they mix. A feedgas mixture exits each channel of the mixing system to feed the reaction zone where it gets converted. Preferred embodiments include mixing O2 with a hydrocarbon gas and converting the mixture in a catalytic reaction zone to produce synthesis gas.

A catalytic partial oxidation process for producing synthesis gas is disclosed which comprises passing a light hydrocarbon and oxygen mixture over a composite catalyst to produce a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Preferred composite catalysts are prepared by mixing together discrete particles of catalytic metal and of promoter. The resulting catalyst resists deactivation due to reaction between the active metal and the promoter. A catalyst and method for making a catalyst and a method for making middle distillates from light hydrocarbons are also disclosed.
