Title: Novel catalysts and their preparation and process for the production of saturated gaseous hydrocarbons

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6127259

This patent describes a process for producing fuel grade saturated gaseous hydrocarbons. The process consists of contacting synthesis gas having a ratio of hydrogen to carbon oxides of from about 0.1 to 10.0:1 over a combination catalyst at a reaction temperature of from about 100/sup 0/C. to 500/sup 0/C. and at a pressure of from about 0.1 MPa to about 20 MPa and at a gas hourly space velociy of from about 10 to 100,000. The combination catalyst consists of: 1.) a medium to large port zeolite having a pore opening diameter of from about 4A to 10A, the zeolite being modified by the oxide or acid of an element selected from the group consisting of boron and group VA elements; and 2.) a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst wherein the ratio of zeolite to Fischer-Tropsch component is from about 0.1 to 50:1.
