Title: Catalysts for the production of hydrocarbons from carbon monoxide and water

Abstract

A method of converting low H2/CO ratio syngas to carbonaceous products comprising reacting the syngas with water or steam at 200° to 350°C. in the presence of a metal catalyst supported on zinc oxide. Hydrocarbons are produced with a catalyst selected from cobalt, nickel or ruthenium and alcohols are produced with a catalyst selected from palladium, platinium, ruthenium or copper on the zinc oxide support. The ratio of the reactants are such that for alcohols and saturated hydrocarbons: and for olefinic hydrocarbons: where n is the number of carbon atoms in the product and x is the molar amount of water in the reaction mixture.
