CATALYST FOR SYNTHESIZING HYDROCARBON

摘要

PURPOSE:To reduce carbon monoxide with hydrogen in high efficiency and to increase the producing yield of hydrocarbon by depositing cobalt and cerium oxide which are the catalytic components on a porous carrier to mold a catalyst for synthesizing hydrocarbon. CONSTITUTION:A catalyst for synthesizing hydrocarbon is molded by depositing cobalt and cerium oxide which are the catalytic components on the ordinary porous carrier such as diatom earth, alpha-alumina, alumina-magnesia spinel and sepiolite. Or a method wherein cerium oxide is used as the porous carrier and cobalt is deposited thereon can be adopted. The average narrow pore diameter of the carrier is preferably about 50Angstrom -2mu and the deposited quantity of cobalt on the carrier is about 3-15wt% and the deposited quantity of cerium oxide is preferably about 0.5-15wt% expressed in terms of cerium.
