Return to Japanese Patent Table of Contents Production Of Light Hydrocarbon From Synthesis Gas Abstract PURPOSE: To selectively produce light hydrocarbons (ethane, propane, butane and gasoline fraction) through one stage reaction from synthesis gas. CONSTITUTION: This invention is a method for producing light hydrocarbons from synthesis gas in the presence of a mixed catalyst composed of a Zn-Cr- based or Zn-Cr-Cu-based methanol synthesis catalyst respectively modified with platinum, rhodium, ruthenium or palladium and a metallosilicate catalyst. The metalloslicate catalyst is prepared by using Al or Fe as the metal, mixing it with a silicate under a special condition, grinding the resultant gel mixture and carrying out a hydrothermal synthesis at a specified temperature.
