PATENTS
Synthesis is carried out in the presence of CO2 with a suspended Fe catalyst. The gases are contained in the reaction mixture in the following relative amounts: H2, CO, and CO2=1-6:1:0.5-3. The gas mixture entering the reaction zone contains H2, CO and CO2 in molecular proportions (H2)(CO2) per (CO)2=2-9 at a reaction temperature 288°-399° and a pressure above 10.5 atm. The O-containing compounds obtained in the synthesis as byproducts are converted into hydrocarbons by treatment with a catalyst of SiO2 and Al2O3 from bauxite at 371°-426° and 3.5 atm. |
