PREPARATION OF SYNTHESIS GAS CONVERSION CATALYST COMPRISING IRON OXIDE A HYDROGEL MATRIX AND AN ACIDIC ZEOLITE

摘要

A catalyst useful for conversion of synthesis gas to naphtha is prepared by carbon of monoxide treatment of a single particle composite of iron oxide, hydrogel matrix and crystalline zeolite having a silica/alumina ratio greater than 12 and a constraint index of 1 to 12. The iron oxide is present in the composite as a powder, and may be created in situ by oxidation of iron powder. The carbon monoxide may be a component of synthesis gas. The product naphtha is characterised by specific details of boiling range and composition.
