Abstract:
The present technology is directed to processes for conversion of synthesis gas in a tubular reactor to produce a synthetic product that utilizes high activity carbon monoxide hydrogenation catalysts and a heat transfer structure that surprisingly provides for higher per pass conversion with high selectivity for the desired synthetic product without thermal runaway.
Abstract:
A precursor for a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst includes a catalyst support, cobalt or iron on the catalyst support and one or more noble metals on the catalyst support, wherein the cobalt or iron is at least partially in the form of its carbide in the as-prepared catalyst precursor, a method for preparing said precursor and the use of said precursor in a Fischer-Tropsch process.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an improved process for removing heat from an exothermic reaction. In particular, the present invention provides a process wherein heat can be removed from multiple reaction trains using a common coolant system.

Abstract:
A method for the preparation of a modified catalyst support comprising: (a) treating a bare catalyst support material with an aqueous solution or dispersion of one or more titanium metal sources and one or more carboxylic acids; and (b) drying the treated support, and (c) optionally calcining the treated support. Also provided are catalyst support materials obtainable by the methods, and catalysts prepared from such supports.
