Al. Lapidus et al., SYNTHESIS OF HYDROCARBONS FROM C2H2-H2-CO MIXTURES IN THE PRESENCE OFCO CATALYSTS, Kinetics and catalysis, 32(4), 1991, pp. 902-905
A study has been made of the production of liquid hydrocarbons from a
C2H2 + H-2 + 8% CO mixture in the presence of Co catalysts on differen
t carriers (SiO2, SiO2.Al2O3, Al2O3). The greatest yield of liquid pro
ducts (200 g/m3) was obtained in the presence of 10% Co/Al2O3. The eff
ect of the synthesis temperature and cobalt content of the catalyst on
the yield and composition of the liquid hydrocarbons has been investi
gated.
