Catalytic method for synthesizing hydrocarbons

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6409303
A method for synthesizing hydrocarbons from carbon monoxide and hydrogen by contacting said gases with a slurry of a catalyst composed of palladium or platinum and cobalt supported on a solid phase is disclosed. The catalyst is prepared by heating a heterogeneous component of the palladium or platinum deposited on the solid support in a solution of cobalta carbonyl or precursors thereof. The catalyst exhibits excellent activity, stability in air, and produces highly desirable products fractions even with dilute gaseous reactants.
