Abstract
One exemplary embodiment can be a process for making a catalyst including an effective amount of iron for catalyzing one or more reactions in a hydrocarbon conversion system. The process can include grinding and coating the particles. The ground particles can have an effective amount of iron, and substantially all the particles may have a maximum dimension no larger than about 130 microns. The coating can have an effective amount of one or more hydrocarbons to provide the catalyst with improved flowability.
Claims20
A process for making a catalyst comprising an effective amount of iron for catalyzing one or more reactions in a hydrocarbon conversion system, comprising:
- A) grinding particles comprising the effective amount of iron so substantially all the particles have a maximum dimension no larger than about 130 microns;
- and
- B) coating the particles with an effective amount of one or more hydrocarbons to provide the catalyst with improved flowability.
A slurry catalyst composition, comprising:
- A) a catalytically effective amount of one or more compounds comprising iron;
- and
- B) a coating comprising one or more hydrocarbons having a melting point temperature of no more than about 250° C.
A slurry catalyst system, comprising:
- A) an upflow tubular reactor receiving:
- 1) a hydrocarbon feed comprising one or more compounds having an initial boiling point temperature of at least about 340° C.;
- and
- 2) a slurry catalyst composition, wherein the composition comprises:
- a) a catalytically effective amount of one or more compounds;
- and
- b) a coating comprising a hydrocarbon having a melting point temperature of no more than about 250° C. for improving flowability of the slurry catalyst composition.
