Catalyst for producing hydrocarbon from syngas and producing method of catalyst
View Patent ↗An exemplary method for producing a catalyst is provided where the catalyst includes a catalyst support on which a metallic compound is loaded. An impurity content of the catalyst can be in a range of approximately 0.01 mass % to 0.15 mass %. In particular, the exemplary method can include pre-treating the catalyst support to lower an impurity concentration of the catalyst support, and loading the metallic compound on the catalyst support after the pretreatment procedure.
1. A method for producing hydrocarbon, comprising:
generating the hydrocarbon from a syngas using a catalyst, the catalyst including a silica catalyst support, a Na content of the silica catalyst support being between about 0.0 mass % and about 0.04 mass %, the catalyst support being prepared using a wash of at least one of an ion-exchanged water, a water having low impurities or a water absent impurities;
wherein the catalyst includes an active metal, which is the least one selected from a group consisting of: cobalt, iron, nickel, or ruthenium;
wherein the wash is performed absent a prior calcination of the silica; and
wherein an impurity content of the catalyst is in a range of approximately 0.01 mass % to 0.15 mass %.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the impurity content of the catalyst is in a range of approximately 0.01 mass % to 0.07 mass %.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the impurity content of the catalyst is in a range of approximately 0.01 mass % to 0.04 mass %.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hydrocarbon is generated in a slurry bed.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the catalyst support comprises a spherical catalyst support on which cobalt is loaded, wherein a diameter of the spherical catalyst is in a range of approximately 20 μm to 250 μm.
6. A method for producing hydrocarbon, comprising:
generating the hydrocarbon from a syngas using a catalyst, the catalyst including a silica catalyst support, a Na content of the silica catalyst support being between about 0.0 mass % and about 0.04 mass %, the catalyst support being prepared using a wash of at least one of an ion-exchanged water, a water having low impurities or a water absent impurities;
wherein the wash is performed absent a prior calcination of the silica; and
wherein an impurity content of the catalyst is in a range of approximately 0.01 mass % to 0.15 mass %.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the catalyst includes an active metal, which is at least one of cobalt, iron, nickel, or ruthenium.
