KATALYSATOR, FREMGANGSMAATE FOR DENS FREMSTILLING OG ANVENDELSE DERAV VED OMDANNELSE AV SYNTESEGASS TIL HYDROKARBONER

摘要

A composition suitable for use after activation as a catalyst or a support therefor in the conversion of synthesis gas to hydrocarbons comprising a porous, essentially amorphous framework matrix comprising at least one element present in the form of a hydrolysed compound thereof, for example silicon and aluminium, and distributed uniformly throughout the framework matrix at least one metal selected from Groups VIa and VIII of the Periodic Table, for example iron, cobalt, nickel and/or ruthenium. Also a process for the production of the composition involving a hydrolysis step and a process for converting synthesis gas to hydrocarbons using the activated composition as catalyst.
