RUTHENIUM-RHENIUM-TITANIA CATALYSTS, AND USE THEREOF FOR FISCHER-TROPSCH SYNTHESIS

摘要

A novel ruthenium-rhenium-titania catalyst having improved activity maintenance in the production of hydrocarbons via carbon monoxide-hydrogen synthesis reactions is disclosed. A hydrocarbon synthesis process using this catalyst is also disclosed. High quality middle distillate fuels, characterized generally as admixtures of linear paraffins and olefins, are formed in the process.
