  • Process for the preparation of modified refractory oxides
    Patent number: 4554268
    Abstract: A process is described for the preparation of modified refractory oxides by impregnating refractory oxides or mixtures thereof with at least one hydrocarbyl ammonium metallate and/or compounds comprising at least one hydrocarbyl ammonium moiety and at least one reactive metal moiety of Group 2a, 3a, 4a and/or 4b of the Periodic Table of Elements. The modified refractory oxides can be used as catalysts or catalyst supports in the catalytic conversion of hydrocarbons.

  • Process for the preparation of a hydrocarbon mixture from H.sub.2 /CO mixtures
    Patent number: 4410637
    Abstract: A process for the preparation of a hydrocarbon mixture from a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, using a catalyst combination containing one or more metal components with catalytic activity for the conversion of an H.sub.2 /CO mixture into acyclic hydrocarbons, e.g., Ru, Co, Fe, Ni and Cr, and as carrier a laminar compound capable of absorbing metal ions or metal salts by intercalation. Preferably the laminar compound is a laminar crystalline silicate, e.g., magadiite.
