Surface-supported particulate metal compound catalysts, their preparation and their use in hydrocarbon synthesis reactions.

摘要

A catalyst composition comprised of a particulate metal compound dispersed, alone or with a metal promoter, as a thin catalytically active film upon a particulate support, the film thickness being determined to maximize CO conversion and minimize methane conversion in a hydrocarbon synthesis reaction. The preparation of the catalyst and its use in a process to convert carbon monoxide and hydrogen to a distillate fuel is disclosed.
