A process for producing hydrocarbons

摘要

Disclosed is a process for converting biomass to products comprising: a) contacting the biomass with hydrogen in the presence of a fluidized bed of hydropyrolysis catalyst in a reactor vessel under hydro pyrolysis conditions; and b) removing products and char from the reactor vessel; wherein the products leave the fluidized bed at an exit bed velocity, the char has a settling velocity that is less than the exit bed velocity and hydropyrolysis catalyst has a settling velocity that is greater than the exit bed velocity.
