20100144907Process for conversion of synthesis gas to hydrocarbons using a zeolite-methanol catalyst system - A process is described for converting synthesis gas containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen to hydrocarbons via methanol as an intermediate, by contacting the synthesis gas with a catalyst system containing a mixture of gallium silicate zeolite catalyst and a methanol catalyst. The process results in reduced amounts of undesirable low carbon number hydrocarbons, e.g., C06-10-2010
20100160464Zeolite Supported Cobalt Hybrid Fischer-Tropsch Catalyst - A method for forming a catalyst for synthesis gas conversion comprises impregnating a zeolite extrudate using a solution, for example, a substantially non-aqueous solution, comprising a cobalt salt to provide an impregnated zeolite extrudate and activating the impregnated zeolite extrudate by a reduction-oxidation-reduction cycle.06-24-2010
20100174002Preparation of Cobalt-Ruthenium Fischer-Tropsch Catalysts - A method for forming a cobalt-containing Fischer-Tropsch catalyst involves precipitating a cobalt oxy-hydroxycarbonate species by turbulent mixing, during which a basic solution collides with an acidic solution comprising cobalt. The method further involves depositing the cobalt oxy-hydroxycarbonate species onto a support material to provide a catalyst comprising cobalt and the support material. The support material comprises one or more of alumina, silica, magnesia, titania, zirconia, ceria-zirconia, and magnesium aluminate.07-08-2010
20100312030PROCESS OF SYNTHESIS GAS CONVERSION TO LIQUID FUELS USING SYNTHESIS GAS CONVERSION CATALYST AND NOBLE METAL-PROMOTED ACIDIC ZEOLITE HYDROCRACKING-HYDROISOMERIZATION CATALYST - A process is disclosed for converting a feed comprising synthesis gas to liquid hydrocarbons within a single reactor at essentially common reaction conditions. The synthesis gas contacts a first catalyst bed comprising a synthesis gas conversion catalyst, and a second catalyst bed comprising a mixture of a hydrogenation catalyst and a solid acid catalyst. A Fischer-Tropsch wax is formed over the first catalyst bed and the wax is then hydrocracked and hydroisomerized over the second catalyst bed, resulting in liquid hydrocarbons substantially free of solid wax.12-09-2010
20110118368PROCESS OF SYNTHESIS GAS CONVERSION TO LIQUID FUELS USING MIXTURE OF SYNTHESIS GAS CONVERSION CATALYST AND DUAL FUNCTIONALITY CATALYST - A process is disclosed for converting a feed comprising synthesis gas to liquid hydrocarbons within a single reactor at essentially common reaction conditions. The synthesis gas contacts a catalyst bed comprising a mixture of a synthesis gas conversion catalyst on a support containing an acidic component and a dual functionality catalyst including a hydrogenation component and a solid acid component. The hydrocarbons produced are liquid at about 0° C., contain at least 25% by volume C05-19-2011
20110124750ZEOLITE SUPPORTED COBALT HYBRID FISCHER-TROPSCH CATALYST - A method for performing synthesis gas conversion is disclosed which comprises contacting synthesis gas with a hybrid Fischer-Tropsch catalyst formed by impregnating a ZSM-12 zeolite extrudate using a solution, for example, a substantially non-aqueous solution, comprising a cobalt salt and activating the impregnated zeolite extrudate by a reduction-oxidation-reduction cycle. The method results in reduced methane yield and increased yield of liquid hydrocarbons substantially free of solid wax.05-26-2011
20110144219ZEOLITE SUPPORTED COBALT HYBRID FISCHER-TROPSCH CATALYST - A method for forming a catalyst for synthesis gas conversion comprises impregnating a zeolite extrudate using a solution, for example, a substantially non-aqueous solution, comprising a cobalt salt to provide an impregnated zeolite extrudate and activating the impregnated zeolite extrudate by a reduction-oxidation-reduction cycle.06-16-2011
20110160315PROCESS OF SYNTHESIS GAS CONVERSION TO LIQUID HYDROCARBON MIXTURES USING SYNTHESIS GAS CONVERSION CATALYST AND HYDROISOMERIZATION CATALYST - A process is disclosed for converting synthesis gas to a liquid hydrocarbon mixture useful as distillate fuel and/or lube base oil which is substantially free of solid wax. A synthesis gas feed is contacted with a synthesis gas conversion catalyst in an upstream bed and a hydroisomerization catalyst containing a metal promoter and an acidic component in a downstream bed within a single reactor at essentially common reaction conditions. A Fischer-Tropsch wax is formed over the synthesis gas conversion catalyst and said wax is subsequently hydroisomerized over the hydroisomerization catalyst, thereby resulting in a liquid hydrocarbon mixture having a desirable product distribution.06-30-2011
20110160316CO2 INJECTION INTO SYNTHESIS FEED GAS TO REDUCE OR ELIMINATE NET CO2 PRODUCTION DURING ISOSYNTHESIS OVER ZnO-Cr2O3 PLUS ZSM-5 HYBRID CATALYST COMBINATIONS - A process of form hydrocarbons boiling to the gasoline range and reducing or eliminating net CO06-30-2011
