WATER ADDITION FOR INCREASED CO/H2 HYDROCARBON SYNTHESIS ACTIVITY OVER CATALYSTS COMPRISING RHENIUM PROMOTED COBALT ON TITANIA

摘要

THE ADDITION OF WATER INTO A FISCHER-TROPSCH HYDROCARBON SYNTHESIS REACTION ZONE EMPLOYING A CATALYST COMPRISING PROMOTED OR UNPROMOTED COBALT SUPPORTED ON TITANIA RESULTS IN INCREASED CO CONVERSION AND C5+ HYDROCARBON PRODUCTION AND A DECREASE IN METHANE PRODUCTION. A PREFERRED PROMOTER IS RHENIUM.
