Ruthenium hybrid fischer-tropsch catalyst, and methods for preparation and use thereof

Patent Number: 8445550
Publication Date: 2013-05-21
Inventors: ; ; ;

Disclosed is a method of forming a hybrid Fischer-Tropsch catalyst extrudate for use in synthesis gas conversion reactions. The method includes extruding a mixture of ruthenium loaded metal oxide support particles, particles of an acidic component and a binder sol to form an extrudate. The resulting extrudate contains from about 0.1 to about 15 weight percent ruthenium based on the weight of the extrudate. In a synthesis gas conversion reaction, the extrudate is contacted with a synthesis ...

Systems and processes for processing hydrogen and carbon monoxide

Patent Number: 8445549
Publication Date: 2013-05-21
Inventor:

In various implementations, various feed gas streams which include hydrogen and carbon monoxide may be processed for conversion to product streams. For example, the feed gas stream may be processed using the Fischer-Tropsch process. Unconverted hydrogen and carbon monoxide can be recycled using an off-gas catalytic reformer and a gas turbine exhaust gas heat exchanger that will perform preheating ...

Process for the preparation of syngas and methanol from organic wastes

Patent Number: 8445548
Publication Date: 2013-05-21
Inventors: ;

The invention is related to the preparation of low-tar syngas from organic wastes and optionally to the preparation of methanol from the syngas or from the separated carbon dioxide. The process is characterized by introducing the secondary raw material comprising preferably solid communal waste, sludge and/or biomass waste into a double-flow one-body generator, comprising an inner pyrolysing, oxidizing and reducing zone and converting the obtained pyrolysis coke, pyrolysis water and tar ...

Conversion of carbon dioxide to methanol using bi-reforming of methane or natural gas

Patent Number: 8440729
Publication Date: 2013-05-14
Inventors: ;

The invention provides for a method of forming methanol by combining a mixture of methane, water and carbon dioxide under specific reaction conditions sufficient to form a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide which are then reacted under conditions sufficient to form methanol. The molar ratio of hydrogen to carbon monoxide is at least two moles of hydrogen to one mole of carbon monoxide and the overall molar ratio between methane, water and carbon dioxide is about 3:2:1. Methane, carbon ...

Method for increasing the yield of a slurry bed reactor

Patent Number: 8440728
Publication Date: 2013-05-14
Inventors: ; ;

Disclosed is a method for increasing the yield of a slurry bed reactor. The method provides a slurry bed reactor with a recycling unit or a replacing unit. An absorbing agent is fed into the slurry bed reactor. The absorbing agent is a substance that can react with at least one product of a primary reaction or at least one reactant of a side reaction. Then, the absorbing agent is transmitted into the recycling unit or the replacing unit. The recycling unit renews the absorbing agent and ...

Hydrocarbon synthesis and production onboard a marine system using varied feedstock

Patent Number: 8431622
Publication Date: 2013-04-30
Inventor:

A process for producing Fischer-Tropsch hydrocarbon products onboard a marine vessel from at least one gas, liquid or solid carbonaceous feedstock, which includes the steps of conducting gasification in a thermal conversion plant operationally connected to an onboard power plant and forming Fischer-Tropsch hydrocarbons in a Fischer-Tropsch reactor with the thermal conversion plant sending a gas stream intermediate product from the conversion plant to the Fischer-Tropsch ...
