Selective Synthesis of Hydrocarbons from Syngas Using Binary Oxide Supported Cobalt-Nickel Alloy Catalysis

摘要：本研究的目的是研究在锰氧化锆、锰氧化钒和铌氧化锆等混合氧化物负载的钴镍费托催化剂上一氧化碳的加氢反应。一个主要的兴趣是产率和选择性在汽油范围- C5至C11碳氢化合物。对负载型催化剂进行了单独测试，并与氢交换型ZSM-5沸石结合进行了测试。研究了温度、压力、空速、一氧化碳/氢气比、沸石/催化剂比等工艺变量对稳态产物分布的影响。这个奖项是在本科院校研究公告下颁发给一所历史悠久的黑人学院的。这项研究与从煤、天然气或生物质能等非石油来源生产汽油有关。

ABSTRACT CTS-9529182 The objective of this research is the investigation of the hydrogenation of carbon monoxide over cobalt-nickel Fischer-Tropsch catalysts supported on a series of mixed oxides, including manganese-zirconium oxide, manganese-vanadium oxide, and niobium-zirconium oxide. A major interest is the yield and selectivity in the gasoline range - C5 to C11 hydrocarbons. The supported catalysts are tested alone as well as in combination with hydrogen-exchanged ZSM-5 zeolite. The effects of process variables such as temperature, pressure, space velocity, carbon monoxide/hydrogen ratio, and zeolite/catalyst ratio on steady-state product distributions are also investigated. This award to a historically black college is made under the Research in Undergraduate Institutions announcement. The research is relevant to the production of gasoline from nonpetroleum sources such as coal, natural gas or biomass.
