IMPROVED SURFACE SUPPORTED PARTICULATE METAL COMPOUND CATALYSTS,THEIR USE IN HYDROCARBON SYNTHESIS REACTIONS AND THEIR PREPARATION

摘要

A CATALYST COMPOSITION COMPRISED OF A PARTICULATE METAL COMPOUND DISPERSED, ALONE OR WITH A METAL PROMOTER, AS A THIN CATALYTICALLY ACTIVE FILM UPON A PARTICULATE SUPPORT, THE FILM THICKNESS BEING DETERMINED TO MAXIMIZE (OO ) CONVERSION AND MINIMIZE METHANE CONVERSION IN A HYDROCARBON SYNTHESIS REACTION. THE PREPARATION OF THE CATALYST AND ITS USE IN A PROCESS TO CONVERT CARBON MONOXIDE AND HYDROGEN TO A DISTALLATE FUEL IS DISCLOSED.
