Abstract: A method for carbon dioxide direct hydrogenation to gasoline-range hydrocarbons is provided in this invention. Under the reaction conditions of 250-450° C., 0.01-10.0 MPa, 500-50000 mL/(h·gcat) of feedstocks, 0.5-8 molar ratio of H2 to CO2, the mixture of carbon dioxide and hydrogen may be directly converted to gasoline-range hydrocarbons over a multifunctional hybrid catalyst. The multifunctional hybrid catalyst comprises: iron-based catalyst for carbon dioxide hydrogenation as the first component, one, two or more of zeolites optionally modified by metal as the second component. In this method, a per-pass conversion of CO2 may achieve more than 33%, the methane selectivity in the hydrocarbon products is less than 8%, the selectivity of gasoline-range hydrocarbons with carbon numbers from 5 to 11 in the hydrocarbon products is more than 70%. The obtained gasoline-range hydrocarbons exhibit high octane number due to its composition comprising isoparaffins and aromatics as the major components.

Abstract: A method for preparing aromatic hydrocarbons with carbon dioxide hydrogenation, comprising: directly converting a mixed gas consisting of carbon dioxide and hydrogen with the catalysis of a composite catalyst under reaction conditions of a temperature of 250-450° C., a pressure of 0.01-10.0 MPa, a feedstock gas hourly space velocity of 500-50000 mL/(h·gcat) and a H2/CO2 molar ratio of 0.5-8.0, to produce aromatic hydrocarbons. The composite catalyst is a mixture of a first component and a second component. The first component is an iron-based catalyst for making low-carbon olefin via carbon dioxide hydrogenation, and the second component is at least one of metal modified or non-modified molecular sieves which are mainly used for olefin aromatization.

Abstract: A modified catalyst is described which can be used as a dehydration/hydrogenation catalyst in a multistage catalyst system for the catalysed production of saturated hydrocarbons from carbon oxides and hydrogen. The modified catalyst comprises: an acidic substrate comprising an M1-zeolite or M1-silicoalumino phosphate (SAPO) catalyst, where M1 is a metal; and a modifier including a metal M2. M2 comprises an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal. In examples described the modifier includes a Group II metal, for example Ca.

Abstract: An integrated process for the generation of saturated C3 and higher hydrocarbons from carbon oxide(s) and hydrogen, includes the steps of: (a) feeding a gas feed stream including carbon oxide(s) and hydrogen to a two-stage reaction system comprising a first stage including a carbon oxide(s) conversion catalyst, where the feed stream is converted in the first stage to form an intermediate product stream, (b) feeding the intermediate product stream to a second stage including a dehydration/hydrogenation catalyst and (c) removing a product stream from the second stage, the product stream including saturated C3 and higher hydrocarbons. The two-stage reaction system could exhibit a high activity and selectivity to C3 and higher hydrocarbons, and the two stage reactions may be operated in different reaction conditions.

Abstract: Process for preparing a two layer metal palladium or palladium alloy composite membrane consisting of a porous substrate support and a palladium or palladium alloy membrane by rinsing/washing and drying the porous substrate support, treating the porous substrate support with a pore filler in order to decorate the pores of the support and the disfigurements of the substrate surface, sensitizing and activating with a palladium solution the decorated substrate support, and plating the resulting support with a palladium solution to form the two layer composite membrane, drying. The resulting composite membrane is subjected to a post-processing where the pore fillers residing in the pore-channels of the porous substrate are partly removed or reduced in volume through heating.

Abstract: A process for the conversion of hydrocarbons to hydrogen and one or more oxides of carbon, comprising contacting the hydrocarbon with steam and/or oxygen in the presence of a spinel-phase crystalline catalyst comprising a catalytically active metal. There is also described a method for making a catalyst suitable for the conversion of hydrocarbons to hydrogen and one or more oxides of carbon comprising adding a precipitant to a solution or suspension of a refractory oxide or precursor thereof and a catalyst metal-containing compound to form a precipitate which is calcined in an oxygen-containing atmosphere to produce a crystalline phase with a high dispersion of catalyst metal. There is further described a crystalline catalyst comprising the elements nickel, magnesium, aluminium and a lanthanide element, in which the crystalline phase is a spinel phase.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel integrated process for the co-production of methanol and dimethyl ether (DME) from syngas containing nitrogen, which is based on a two-stage reaction. In the first stage, most of the syngas is converted into methanol by using one reactor or two tandem reactors or multistage series reactors. In the second stage, the small amount of remaining syngas is further diluted by N2 and is converted to DME in the following reactor. Thus, the catalyst sintering is avoided due to the alleviated heat transfer limitations. An overall CO single pass conversion as high as ˜90% is obtained, which is maintained during 2000 h's of continuous operation. This invention provides a novel, economic and easy to operate process to convert syngas to methanol/DME in single pass.
