Abstract: A catalyst for producing isoparaffins-rich synthetic oil is a granulated porous composite material comprising a three-dimensional heat-conducting structure of metal aluminum and Raney cobalt, and a binding component comprising an H-form zeolite. The particles of Raney cobalt and zeolite are in mutual direct contact. Fractions of macropores in an open porosity of the catalyst granules and of mesopores of the size of 70-500 ? in an open porosity of the catalyst granules are respectively 55-79% and 7-20%, a fraction of micropores being the rest. A method for preparing the catalyst comprises mixing binding component powders, peptizing the mixture with a nitric acid solution, mixing obtained homogeneous gel with powders of Raney cobalt and metal aluminum and a liquid phase to form a paste, extruding same into granules and calcinating the granules. The catalyst improves reagents mass transfer inside the granules and increases isoparaffine content in the produced oil.

Abstract: The invention is for use in gas chemistry for producing hydrogen-containing gas on the base of a CO and H2 mixture (syngas) from natural gas and other hydrocarbon gases. The object of the invention is to suppress side reactions resulting in soot formation when conducting the process in high productivity mode, and also to provide for an uncomplicated reactor design while maintaining compact dimensions thereof. The method for producing a hydrogen-containing gas comprises mixing natural gas with oxygen, partially oxidizing the natural gas with oxygen at a temperature ranging from 1300° C. to 1700° C. resulting in obtaining hydrogen-containing gas, and cooling the stream of the hydrogen-containing gas produced. Said cooling is performed until the temperature drops below 550° C. and at a rate above 100000° C./sec.

Abstract: Multi-layer fullerenes with a novel structure which are expected to be applied to various fields, and a method of manufacturing the multi-layer fullerenes. The method comprises heating carbon-containing substances at a temperature of 2300° C. or higher in the presence of a C60 fullerene to obtain novel multi-layer fullerenes which include a first multi-layer fullerene having a C60 fullerene enclosed in a C240 fullerene (C60@C240), a second multi-layer fullerene having a C240 fullerene enclosed in a C560 fullerene (C240@C560), and a third multi-layer fullerene having a C80 fullerene enclosed in a C240 fullerene which is enclosed in a C560 fullerene (C80@C240@C560).
