Method of synthesis of hydrocarbons from synthesis gas in the presence of a raney metal alloy, dispersed in a liquid phase

摘要

The catalyst contains a high proportion of metal which enables its easy separation from the reaction products by simple techniques such as decantation and magnetic separation. The synthesis of hydrocarbons from a mixture of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H2), and optionally carbon dioxide (CO2) (synthesis gas) is carried out in the presence of a catalyst comprising a Raney metallic alloy dispersed in a liquid phase. The catalyst comprises at least 60% of a metal from groups 8, 9 or 10.
