PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF HYDROCARBONS

摘要

PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF HYDROCARBONS C5+ hydrocarbons are prepared from C4- hydrocarbons by a two-stage process comprising steam reforming or partial oxidation followed by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis over a special cobalt-containing catalyst; the feed for the second stage contains CO2 and/or N2 as contaminants, which contaminants are already present in the feed for the first stage and/or have been introduced in the syngas by using air in the partial oxidation step.
