CONVERSION OF SYNTHESIS GAS WITH IRON-CONTAINING FLUID CATALYST

摘要

CONVERSION OF SYNTHESIS GAS WITH IRON-CONTAINING FLUID CATALYST A method is disclosed for the conversion of synthesis gas to a liquid hydrocarbon product having a boiling range of less than 204-44.degree.C (400.degree.F) at a 90% overhead and containing approximately 5-25% of an aromatic product. The novel method involves contacting synthesis gas with a single particle catalyst containing iron, a crystalline acidic aluminosilicate zeolite having a silica-to-alumina ratio of at least 12, a pore size greater than about 5 Angstrom units, and a constraint index of about 1 to 12, and a siliceous matrix. The catalyst does not contain promoters and the alumina content of the matrix is limited. F-9998-L
