  • Publication number: 20110294908
    Abstract: This invention relates to a Fe-based catalyst for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, preparation method and application thereof. The catalyst contains Fe, oxide(s) of IB group metal Cu and/or Ag as a reducing promoter, IA group metal Li, Na, K or Rb as an electron promoter, VIII group noble metal Ru, Rh, Pd or Pt as a hydrogenation promoter and SiO2 as a structure promoter. The preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing a solution of Fe salt; co-precipitating the solution rapidly with an alkaline compound, then washing and pulping again; and adding a solution of IB group metal salt as a reducing promoter, a IA group metal salt solution and silica sol, or adding a solution of IB group metal salt as a reducing promoter and a silicate of IA group metal; then molding by spray-drying, impregnating in a solution of VIII group noble metal salt, and drying and roasting to obtain the catalyst. The catalyst is suitable for producing hydrocarbons by a low temperature Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process.

  • Publication number: 20110245072
    Abstract: A method for continuously preparing a metal oxides catalyst comprises the following steps: dissolving metal materials using nitric acid solution to produce a metal nitrate solution, and also to produce NOx and water vapor; hydrolyzing the metal nitrate solution by introducing pressurized superheated water vapor into the metal nitrate solution to obtain a slurry of the hydrates of metal oxides as well as acidic gas, the main components of the acidic gas are NO2, NO, O2 and water vapor; filtrating and drying the slurry to obtain the hydrates of metal oxides and/or metal oxides; and then utilizing the obtained hydrates of metal oxides and/or metal oxides as raw materials and preparing the metal oxides catalyst by the conventional method for preparing a catalyst. The NOx gas produced can be absorbed to produce nitric acid which can be reused.
