Abstract
A process for producing hydrocarbons which comprises bringing a gas mixture comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide into contact with a catalyst comprising manganese oxide, alkali metal, sulfur, and ruthenium to produce hydrocarbons. The hydrocarbons formed are rich in olefins. When a catalyst prepared by combining the above described catalyst with crystalline zeolite is used, the hydrocarbons formed becomes rich in liquid hydrocarbons, particularly, a gasoline fraction.
Claims17
A process for producing hydrocarbons which comprises bringing a gas mixture comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide into contact with a catalyst comprising at least 5% by weight based on the total catalyst a carbon monoxide reduction catalyst at reaction conditions comprising a pressure of from 0 to 100 kg/cm.sup.2 G and a temperature of from 100.degree. to 500.degree. C. to produce hydrocarbons, wherein said carbon monoxide reduction catalyst comprises 10 to 99.8 wt % manganese oxide, 0.01 to 8 wt % alkali metal, 0.001 to 3 wt % sulfur, and 0.1 to 50 wt % ruthenium based on the total weight of the carbon monoxide reduction catalyst.
