PROCESS FOR UPGRADING A CARBONACEOUS MATERIAL USING MICROCHANNEL PROCESS TECHNOLOGY

摘要

This invention relates to a process for converting a carbonaceous material to a desired product comprising one or more hydrocarbons or one or more alcohols, the process comprising: (A) gasifying the carbonaceous material at a temperature in excess of about 700 °C to form synthesis gas; and (B) flowing the synthesis gas in a microchannel reactor in contact with a catalyst to convert the synthesis gas to the desired product.
