  • Process for synthesising hydrocarbons in the presence of a catalyst comprising a group VIII metal supported on silica-alumina
    Publication number: 20020132865
    Abstract: A process is described for synthesizing hydrocarbons from a mixture comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst comprising at least one group VIII metal supported on a silica-alumina prepared by co-precipitating and calcining at a temperature in the range from about 500° C. to about 1200° C. for at least 6 hours so that said silica-alumina has a specific surface area of less than 260 m2/g. Said catalyst is used in a fixed bed or in suspension in a liquid phase of a three-phase reactor.

  • Process for synthesizing hydrocarbons from synthesis gas in the presence of a raney metal alloy disperded in a liquid phase
    Patent number: 6391929
    Abstract: A process for synthesising hydrocarbons from synthesis gas in the presence of a catalyst essentially constituted by a Raney metal alloy dispersed in a liquid phase is described in which the catalyst comprises at least 60% by weight of at least one metal selected from metals from groups 8, 9 and 10, and optionally at least one additional element selected from alkali metals and metals from groups 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11.

  • Supported cobalt-based catalyst
    Publication number: 20010041750
    Abstract: A supported cobalt-based catalyst is described, characterized in that the carrier has an average particle diameter, measured by means of Coulter LS230, ranging from 70 to 250 &mgr;m, a surface area higher than 175 m2/g and a pore volume higher than 0.35 cm3/g, measured with the B.E.T. method. The above catalyst is particularly useful in the Fischer-Tropsch reaction.
