摘要
Methods for converting of syngas to higher molecular weight products using Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, and methods for optimizing the catalyst systems in the synthesis, are disclosed. In one embodiment, the methods use cobalt/ruthenium Fischer-Tropsch catalysts in combination with an olefin isomerization catalyst, which isomerizes double bonds in C4+ olefins as they are formed. In another embodiment, the methods use Fischer-Tropsch catalysts that may or may not be cobalt/ruthenium catalysts, in combination with olefin isomerization catalysts which are acidic enough to isomerize the C4+ olefins but not too acidic to cause rapid coking. A benefit of using the relatively less acidic zeolites is that the ratio of iso-paraffins to aromatics is increased relative to when more acidic zeolites are used. Also, the relatively less acidic zeolites do not coke as readily as the relatively more acidic zeolites. The methods can advantageously be optimized using combinatorial chemistry, in which a database of combinations of catalyst systems and, optionally, reaction conditions, which provide various product streams, are generated. As market conditions vary and/or product requirements change, conditions suitable for forming desired products can be identified with little or no downtime.
