Abstract
A catalyst for converting synthesis gas composed of hydrogen and carbon monoxide to hydrocarbons. The catalyst includes cobalt in catalytically active amounts up to about 60 wt % of the catalyst and rhenium in catalytically active amounts of about 0.5 to 50 wt % of the cobalt content of the catalyst supported on alumina. A metal oxide promoter may be added.
Claims13
A catalyst for converting synthesis gas to hydrocarbons comprising amounts of cobalt catalytically active in a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and relatively lesser amounts of rhenium than the cobalt content composited on an alumina support.
A catalyst for converting synthesis gas to hydrocarbons comprising cobalt and rhenium composited on an alumina support wherein cobalt is present in catalytically active amounts up to about 60 wt % of the catalyst and rhenium is present in catalytically active amounts from about 0.5 to about 50 wt % of the cobalt content of the catalyst.
