ENHANCED CATALYST AND PROCESS FOR CONVERTING SYNTHESIS GAS TO LIQUID MOTOR FUELS

摘要

ENHANCED SYNTHESIS GAS CONVERSION PROCESS AND CATALYST The conversion of synthesis gas to liquid molar fuels by means of a cobalt Fischer-Tropsch catalyst composition is enhanced by the addition of molybdenum, tungsten or a combination thereof as an additional component of said composition. The presence of the additive component increases the olefinic content of the hydrocarbon products produced. The catalyst composition can advantageously include a support component, such as a molecular sieve, co-catalyst/support component or a combination of such support components.
