Improved catalysts for liquid hydrocarbon fuels from syngas. Technical progress report, April-June 1985

Technical Report · Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 EST 1985

OSTI ID:5401045

The objective of the contract is to consolidate the advances made during the previous contract in the conversion of syngas to motor fuels using Molecular Sieve-containing catalysts and to demonstrate the practical utility and economic value of the new catalyst/process systems with appropriate laboratory runs. Work on the program is divided into the following six tasks: (1) preparation of a detailed work plan covering the entire performance of the contract; (2) preliminary techno-economic assessment of the UCC catalyst/process system; (3) optimization of the most promising catalysts developed under prior contract; (4) optimization of the UCC catalyst system in a manner that will give it the longest possible service life; (5) optimization of a UCC process/catalyst system based upon a tubular reactor with a recycle loop; and (6) economic evaluation of the optimal performance found under Task 5 for the UCC process/catalyst system. Accomplishments are reported for Tasks 2 through 5.
