PROCESS OF SYNTHESIS GAS CONVERSION TO LIQUID FUELS USING MIXTURE OF SYNTHESIS GAS CONVERSION CATALYST AND DUAL FUNCTIONALITY CATALYST

摘要

A process is disclosed for converting a feed comprising synthesis gas to liquid hydrocarbons within a single reactor at essentially common reaction conditions. The synthesis gas contacts a catalyst bed comprising a mixture of a synthesis gas conversion catalyst on a support containing an acidic component and a dual functionality catalyst including a hydrogenation component and a solid acid component. The hydrocarbons produced are liquid at about 0° C., contain at least 25% by volume C₁₀₊ and are substantially free of solid wax.
