Abstract

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.

Claims (18)

1. A method for producing hydrocarbon, comprising:

generating the hydrocarbon from a syngas using a catalyst, wherein an impurity content of the catalyst is in a range of approximately 0.01 mass % to 0.15 mass %, the catalyst containing a silica catalyst support, a Na content of the silica catalyst support being more than 0.0% and about 0.04 mass % or lower,

wherein the catalyst includes an active metal which is at least one selected from a group consisting of: cobalt, iron nickel, or ruthenium.

2. A method for producing hydrocarbon, comprising:

generating the hydrocarbon from a syngas using a catalyst, wherein an impurity content of the catalyst is in a range of approximately 0.01 mass % to 0.07 mass %, the catalyst containing a silica catalyst support, a Na content of the silica catalyst support being more than 0.0% and about 0.04 mass % or lower,

wherein the catalyst includes an active metal, which is at least one selected from group consisting of: cobalt, iron, nickel or ruthenium.

3. A method for producing hydrocarbon, comprising:

generating the hydrocarbon from a syngas using a catalyst, wherein an impurity content of the catalyst is in a range of approximately 0.01 mass % to 0.04 mass %, the catalyst containing a silica catalyst support, a Na content of the silica catalyst support being more than 0.0% and about 0.04 mass % or lower,

wherein the catalyst includes an active metal, which is at least one selected from a group consisting of: cobalt, iron, nickel, or ruthenium.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the hydrocarbon is generated in a slurry bed.

5. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the hydrocarbon is generated in a slurry bed.

6. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the hydrocarbon is generated in a slurry bed.

7. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the catalyst 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.

8. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the catalyst 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.

9. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the catalyst 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.

10. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the catalyst support is produced using a spraying technique.

11. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the catalyst support is produced using a spraying technique.

12. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the catalyst support is produced using a spraying technique.
