CATALYST FOR MANUFACTURING LIGHT HYDROCARBON FROM SYNTHETIC GAS, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE CATALYST, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING LIGHT HYDROCARBON FROM SYNTHETIC GAS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a catalyst unlikely to entail, even if a high productivity is set within a microchannel reactor, haywire consequences and yielding, without being accompanied by flow channel congestions, relatively low selectivities of gas products such as methane, etc.; a method for manufacturing the catalyst; and a method for manufacturing a light hydrocarbon from a synthetic gas by using the catalyst.SOLUTION: The provided catalyst for manufacturing a light hydrocarbon from a synthetic gas has an average particle diameter of 400 μm or less and includes both a catalyst exhibiting an activity for an exothermic reaction of generating a hydrocarbon from a synthetic gas and including a metallic compound exhibiting an activity for a Fischer-Tropsch synthesizing reaction and a catalyst exhibiting an activity for an endothermic reaction of decomposing and lightening the hydrocarbon thus generated.
