Verfahren zur Umwandlung von Methanol zu flüssigen Kohlenwasserstoffen.

摘要

Hydrocarbons are prepared by a process in which a feed comprising methanol is contacted at elevated temperature and pressure with a catalyst comprising: (i) a porous carrier material selected from the group comprising silica, alumina, and mixtures thereof; (ii) cobalt as a metal component deposited on the porous carrier; and (iii) a promoter selected from the group comprising zirconium, titanium, chromium, ruthenium, iron, magnesium, zinc, thorium and uranium. The feed may further comprise hydrogen or synthesis gas. In cases where the feed comprises both methanol and synthesis gas, methanol in the feed may be prepared from synthesis gas remaining after contact with the aforementioned catalyst.
