Catalytic Production of Paraffin and Olefin Hydrocarbons From Gaseous Mixtures Containing Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen. United States Patent 2,244,196, June 3, 1941; appl. filed Nov. 26, 1937. Serial No. 176,761, in Germany Dec. 2, 1936; 6 claims (Cl. 260-449). Chem. Abs., vol. 35, 1941, p. 5678. Process for the catalytic conversion of gas mixtures containing CO and H2 into hydrocarbons mainly of paraffinic and olefinic nature and containing more than 2 C atoms while maintaining temperatures below 300° with a catalyst suitable for forming benzine, hydrocarbon oil, and paraffin from such gases at atm. pressure and at temperatures below 300°, the catalyst containing a hydrogenating metal, and activator, and a carrier substance. The carrier substance, constituting the major portion of the catalyst, involves performing the synthesis at pressures 2-200 atm. in the presence of a catalyst having low enough activity that, when carrying out such synthesis at atm. pressure and otherwise under the same conditions of reaction, the synthesis would yield below 100gm. of liquid and solid hydrocarbons per n m.3 of synthesis gas calculated on the basis of a gas containing a 100% CO and H2 mixture. |
