Catalyst For Production Of Hydrocarbons

US Patent:
4801573, Jan 31, 1989
Filed:
Oct 23, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/113095
Inventors:
Sigrid Eri - Trondheim, NO
James G. Goodwin - Pittsburgh PA
George Marcelin - Pittsburgh PA
Trygve Riis - Oslo, NO
Assignee:
501 Den Norske Stats Oljeslenskap A.S. - Trondheim
International Classification:
B01J 2104, B01J 2368
US Classification:
502302
Abstract:
A catalyst for converting synthesis gas composed of hydrogen and carbon monoxide to hydrocarbons. The catalyst includes cobalt in catalytically active amounts up to about 60 wt % of the catalyst and rhenium in catalytically active amounts of about 0. 5 to 50 wt % of the cobalt content of the catalyst supported on alumina. A metal oxide promoter may be added.

Process Using A Supported Catalyst For Hydrocarbon Synthesis

US Patent:
5116879, May 26, 1992
Filed:
Sep 28, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/590430
Inventors:
Sigrid Eri - Trondheim, NO
James G. Goodwin - Pittsburgh PA
George Marcelin - Pittsburgh PA
Trygve Riis - Oslo, NO
Assignee:
Den norske stats oljeselskap A.S. - Stavanger
International Classification:
C07C 104
US Classification:
518716
Abstract:
A process for converting synthesis gas, a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, into a mixture of predominately paraffinic hydrocarbons using a catalyst which includes catalytically active amounts of cobalt and a loading-insensitive second metal selected from the group consisting of platinum, iridium, rhodium and mixtures thereof, composited on an alumnia support. The finished catalyst exhibits a positive x-ray diffraction pattern. A metal oxide promoter may also be added.

Catalyst For Production Of Hydrocarbons

US Patent:
4880763, Nov 14, 1989
Filed:
Oct 18, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/259232
Inventors:
Sigrid Eri - Trondheim, NO
James G. Goodwin - Pittsburgh PA
George Marcelin - Pittsburgh PA
Trygve Riis - Oslo, NO
Assignee:
Den norske stats olijeselskap a.s.
International Classification:
B01J 2104, B01J 2304, B01J 2336
US Classification:
502302
Abstract:
A catalyst for converting synthesis gas composed of hydrogen and carbon monoxide to hydrocarbons. The catalyst includes cobalt in catalytically active amounts up to about 60 wt % of the catalyst, rhenium in amounts of about 0. 5 to 50 wt % of the cobalt content of the catalyst and an alkali in amounts ranging from about 0. 5 to 5 atom percent of the cobalt content of the catalyst, supported on alumina. A metal oxide promoter may be added.

Process For Production Of Hydrocarbons

US Patent:
4857559, Aug 15, 1989
Filed:
Oct 18, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/259221
Inventors:
Sigrid Eri - Trondheim, NO
James G. Goodwin - Pittsburgh PA
Assignee:
Gas-To-Oil, Inc. - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
C07C 104, C07C 106
US Classification:
518700
Abstract:
A process for converting synthesis gas composed of hydrogen and carbon monoxide to hydrocarbons. The process includes the step of contacting at reaction conditions a synthesis gas feed to a catalyst which includes cobalt in catalytically active amounts up to about 60 wt % of the catalyst and rhenium in catalytically active amounts of about 0. 5 to 50 wt % of the cobalt content of the catalyst supported on alumina. A metal oxide promoter may be added.
