CATALYST FOR FISCHER-TROPSCH SYNTHESIS HAVING EXCELLENT HEAT TRANSFER CAPABILITY

摘要

The present invention relates to a catalyst for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis which has excellent heat transfer capability. The catalyst of the present invention comprises: (1) central core particles made of heat transfer materials (HTM) selected from a group consisting of metal, metal oxides, ceramic, and a mixture thereof; and (2) outer layer particles which wrap around the central core particles and are attached to the surfaces of the central core particles by a binder material layer. The outer particle layer comprises a support, and catalyst particles which are in powder form and which contain metal particles supported above said support. The catalyst having the above-described double particle structure according to the present invention has excellent heat transfer capability, and thus exhibits high selectivity to a target hydrocarbon. Therefore, the catalyst of the present invention may be effectively used in a fixed-bed reactor for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis for producing hydrocarbons from synthetic gas.
