METHOD FOR ADJUSTING HYDROGEN TO CARBON MONOXIDE RATIO IN SYNTHESIS GAS

摘要

This present description is related to "from biomass to liquid" -protocols. A method for adjusting hydrogen to carbon monoxide ratioof syngas contaminated by sulfur impurities involving a water gas shift (WGS) reaction is described herein. Because of the presence of the sulfur impurities, the WGS should be implemented as a sour gas shift. However, WGS provided good results by using a non-sulfided catalyst. Some embodiments provide conditions which contribute to further enhanced CO-conversion in said reaction. The hydrocarbons orderivatives thereof obtainable from said method can further be refined and used for production of fuels or lubricants for combustion engines.
