Abstract: The present invention relates to a catalyst for producing a liquefied petroleum gas, which is used for producing a liquefied petroleum gas containing propane or butane as a main component by reacting carbon monoxide and hydrogen, and comprises a Cu—Zn-based methanol synthesis catalyst and a Cu-supported ?-zeolite in which at least Cu is supported on a ?-zeolite.

Abstract: A catalyst for producing a liquefied petroleum gas according to the present invention comprises a Pd- and/or Pt-based catalyst component and a USY-type zeolite. By using the catalyst, a hydrocarbon containing propane or butane as a main component, i.e. a liquefied petroleum gas, can be produced with high activity, high selectivity and high yield from at least one of methanol and dimethyl ether.

Abstract: It is an objective of the present invention to provide a catalyst for liquefied petroleum gas production that is less likely to deteriorate over time and is capable of serving as a catalyst in a reaction for producing a liquefied petroleum gas from carbon monoxide and hydrogen under relatively low temperature and pressure conditions. The present invention relates to a catalyst for producing a liquefied petroleum gas mainly consisting of propane or butane by reacting carbon monoxide with hydrogen, such catalyst comprising a Cu—Zn-based catalyst component and a ?-zeolite catalyst component loaded with Pd.

Abstract: A synthesis gas is produced from a carbon-containing starting material such as a coal; a CO-containing gas is separated from the resultant synthesis gas, whereby obtaining a gas containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen; a methanol- and/or dimethyl ether-containing gas is produced from the resultant gas containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen; meanwhile, a H2-containing gas is produced from the CO-containing gas and the H2O-containing gas separated from the lower-paraffin-containing gas by a shift reaction; a lower-paraffin-containing gas containing propane or butane as a main component of hydrocarbons contained therein is produced from the methanol- and/or dimethyl ether-containing gas and the H2-containing gas; and a H2O-containing gas is separated from the resultant lower-paraffin-containing gas, whereby obtaining a liquefied petroleum gas.

Abstract: A catalyst for producing a liquefied petroleum gas according to the present invention comprises a Pd-based methanol synthesis catalyst component and a ?-zeolite catalyst component. It can be used in a reaction of carbon monoxide and hydrogen to give a hydrocarbon containing propane or butane as a main component, i.e., a liquefied petroleum gas, with high activity, high selectivity and high yield. Furthermore, the catalyst has a longer catalyst life with less deterioration.
