  • Process and catalyst for production of hydrocarbons
    Patent number: 5639798
    Abstract: A catalyst and slurry reactor Fischer-Tropsch conversion process utilizing novel catalysts comprising cobalt promoted with molybdenum or molybdenum and zirconium on a small diameter inorganic oxide support. The catalysts have been found to be highly selective for production of liquid hydrocarbons while minimizing production of less desirable oxygen-containing products such as alcohols. The preferred catalysts contain from about 5% to 50% cobalt and from about 0.1% to 10% molybdenum or molybdenum and zirconium.
