J. Erena et al., EFFECT OF THE OPERATING-CONDITIONS ON THE CONVERSION OF SYNGAS INTO LIQUID HYDROCARBONS OVER A CR2O3-ZNO ZSM(5) BIFUNCTIONAL CATALYST/, Journal of chemical technology and biotechnology, 72(2), 1998, pp. 190-196
The effect of the operating conditions (pressure, temperature, space t
ime, CO/H-2 ratio in the feed and time on stream) on the conversion of
syngas into liquid hydrocarbons over a Cr2O3-ZnO/ZSM5 bifunctional ca
talyst has been studied by means of experimentation in an integral fix
ed bed reactor. On the basis of the results, the global stoichiometry
of the process is established and the relative importance of the opera
ting variables in order to reach a good compromise between catalyst ac
tivity and gasoline quality is analysed. (C) 1998 SCI.
