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

摘要

IMPROVED SURFACE SUPPORTED PARTICULATE METAL COMPOUND CATALYSTS, THEIR USE IN HYDROCARBON SYNTHESIS REACTIONS AND THEIR PREPARATION 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 CO conversion and minimized 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 distillate fuel is disclosed.
