ENHANCED CONVERSION OF SYNGAS TO LIQUID MOTOR FUELS

摘要

Synthesis gas comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogen is converted to C5+ hydrocarbons suitable for use as liquid motor fuels by contact with a dual catalyst system capable of enhancing the selectivity of said conversion to motor fuel range hydrocarbons and the quality of the resulting motor fuel product. The catalyst composition employs a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst, together with a co-catalyst/support component comprising SAPO silicoaluminophosphate, non-zeolitic molecular sieve catalyst.
