High conversion of syngas to gasoline-range liquid hydrocarbons via dual-bed catalyst

摘要

Gasoline, the primary transportation fuel, contains hydrocarbons with 5-11 carbons (C_(5-11)) and is almost derived from petroleum at present. Gasoline can also be produced from non-petroleum syngas. At present, the industrial technology for syngas production is relatively mature, but achieving high conversions of syngas to C_(5-11) with excellent selectivity and stability remains a challenge. Now, researchers from the Dalian Institute ofChemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have realized the highly efficient and selective conversion of syngas to gasoline-range liquid hydrocarbons over a dual-bed catalyst.
