CATALYST AND PROCESS FOR THE SELECTIVE PRODUCTION OF LOWER HYDROCARBONS C1-C5 FROM SYNGASS WITH LOW METHANE AND CO₂ PRODUCTION

摘要

The present invention relates to a catalyst composition comprising cobalt manganese oxide which is modified with silicon in the form of a hydrophilic silica, the catalyst further comprises at least one of lanthanum, phosphorus, Fe, Zr, and Zn and optionally one or more basic elements selected from the group consisting of alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and transition metal. Furthermore, a method for preparing said catalyst composition and a process for producing aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons using said catalyst composition are provided.
