PRODUCTION OF FISCHER-TROPSCH SYNTHESIS PRODUCED WAX

摘要

A PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A CLEAN WAX PRODUCT INCLUDES CONTACTING, AT AN ELEVATED TEMPERATURE BETWEEN 180°C AND 250°C AND AT AN ELEVATED PRESSURE BETWEEN 10 BAR AND 40 BAR, A SYNTHESIS GAS COMPRISING HYDROGEN AND CARBON MONOXIDE WITH A COBALT SLURRY PHASE FISCHER-TROPSCH SYNTHESIS CATALYST, IN A SLURRY PHASE FISCHER-TROPSCH SYNTHESIS REACTION. THECATALYST IS OBTAINED FROM A SUCCESSFUL CATALYST SUPPORT. A CLEAN WAX PRODUCT CONTAINING LESS THAN 50 MASS PPM SUBMICRON PARTICULATES OF COBALT, IS PRODUCED.
