PREPARATION OF HIGHER HYDROCARBONS FROM LOWER HYDROCARBONS USING A COBALT CATALYST

摘要

C4- hydrocarbons are converted into syngas with a H2/CO molar ratio between 0.25 and 2.25 by reforming at a pressure above 10 bar in the presence of specified amounts of carbon dioxide and steam followed by conversion of the syngas into C5+ hydrocarbons over a cobalt-containing catalyst or a catalyst combination comprising a cobalt-containing catalyst and having CO-shift activity.
