  • Process for the production of a synthesis gas conversion catalyst
    Patent number: 4795850
    Abstract: A composition for use after reductive activation as a catalyst in the conversion of synthesis gas to hydrocarbons of carbon number greater than one, which composition before reductive activation has the formula:Ru.sub.a.A.sub.b.XO.sub.x (I)whereinA is an alkali metal,X is a rare earth metal,a is greater than zero and up to 5% w/w, based on the total weight of the composition,b is in the range from zero to 5% w/w, based on the total weight of the composition,x is a number such that the valence requirements of the other elements for oxygen is satisfied, and subject to the requirements of x, X constitutes the remainder of the composition,is produced by the steps of:(A) bringing together at a temperature below 50.degree. C.
    Type: Grant
