CATALYST STRUCTURE AND METHOD OF FISCHER-TROPSCH SYNTHESIS

摘要

The present invention includes Fischer-Tropsch cata-lysts, reactions using Fischer-Tropsch catalysts, methods of making Fis-cher-Tropsch catalysts, processes of hydrogenating carbon monoxide, and fuels made using these processes. The invention provides the abil-ity to hydrogenate carbon monoxide with low contact times, good con-version rates and low methane selectivities. In a preferred method, the catalyst is made using a metal foam support.
