Abstract: A process is disclosed for producing hydrocarbons. The process involves contacting a feed stream comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide with a catalyst in a reaction zone maintained at conversion-promoting conditions effective to produce an effluent stream comprising hydrocarbons. In accordance with this invention, the catalyst used in the process preferably includes at least cobalt, rhenium, and a promoter selected from the group including boron, phosphorus, potassium, manganese, and vanadium. The catalyst may also comprise a support material selected from the group including silica, titania, titania/alumina, zirconia, alumina, aluminum fluoride, and fluorided aluminas.

Abstract: A catalyst useful for the production of hydrocarbons from synthesis gas, in the Fischer-Tropsch reaction, is disclosed. The catalyst includes cobalt and rhenium and may be supported on an alumina support. The catalyst further includes a promoter selected from among boron, manganese, vanandium, phosphorous, and the alkali metals. The promoter preferably improves the activity for the production of hydrocarbons by at least about 5%. The improved activity may be an increased productivity, increased CO conversion, and the like. The hydrocarbons may have a weight range useful for making diesel fuel, (e.g. C11+ hydrocarbons). Alternately, the hydrocarbons may have a weight range useful for making gasoline (e.g. C5+ hydrocarbons). The catalyst may be made by co-dispersing the promoter with the cobalt or by layering the promoter over the cobalt.
