Abstract
A process for gasifying liquid and solid hydrocarbons by contact at elevated temperature with a novel hydrocarbon gasifying catalyst comprising K.sub.2 O--CaO--Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 containing from about 5 to 15% by weight K.sub.2 O, from about 0.1 to 7% CaO, and from about 78 to 94.9% Al.sub.2 O.sub.3.
Claims8
In the process for gasifying liquid and solid hydrocarbons, wherein the hydrocarbon is contacted with steam and a gasifying catalyst at elevated temperature,
- the improvement comprising said gasifying catalyst comprising from about 5 to 15% by weight K.sub.2 O, from 0.5 to 5% CaO, and from about 78 to 94.9% Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 in the form of K.sub.2 O--CaO--Al.sub.2 O.sub.3.
The fluid catalytic cracking process for gasifying liquid and solid hydrocarbons, comprising contacting hydrocarbons with steam at a temperature of from about 700.degree. C. to 900.degree. C. and at a pressure of from about 0 to 5 kg/cm.sup.2 (gauge), in the presence of a gasifying catalyst consisting essentially of from about 5 to 15% by weight K.sub.2 O, from 0.5 to 5% CaO, and from about 78 to 94.9% Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 in the form of K.sub.2 O--CaO--Al.sub.2 O.sub.3.
