Benefits of technology

The patent describes a method for making a catalyst support that can be used for generating catalysts with good conversion levels for CO. The method involves using a chromium metal source, specifically chromium (III) nitrate nonahydrate. The resulting catalyst support is modified with chromium oxide, which enhances its function as a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst. The patent also explains the importance of cooling the process microchannels during the reaction to control selectivity towards the desired product and reduce the formation of unwanted by-products. The temperature of the reactant composition at the entrance of the microchannels should be within a certain range to achieve the desired outcome.

Problems solved by technology

Furthermore, the use of aqueous methods, compared to non-aqueous methods, often results in a lowering of manufacturing costs.

Synthesis of ZrO2-Modified Silica Catalyst Support (22% ZrO2 / SiO2) Using Method a (Supports A1 to A3)

[0192]Silica A bare catalyst support material was dried at 100° C. for 2 hours. 31.4 g of silica was weighed and allowed to cool to room temperature. 8.82 g citric acid was mixed with 12 ml H2O and heated to about 50° C. with stirring until fully dissolved. The solution was then allowed to cool to room temperature. 16.22 g zirconium dinitrate oxide hydrate (also known as “zirconyl nitrate”) was mixed with 15 ml H2O and stirred using a magnetic stirbar, without heat, for 20 minutes to obtain a translucent solution. The zirconyl nitrate solution and citric acid solution were mixed together to form the impregnation solution. The impregnation solution was used immediately after preparation to impregnate the silica support. The support was impregnated by mixing the impregnation solution and the silica in order to reach the point of incipient wetness.

Synthesis of ZrO2-Modified Silica Catalyst Support (22% ZrO2 / SiO2) Using Method B (Support B)

[0198]Silica A bare catalyst support material was dried at 100° C. for 2 hours. 31.4 g of silica was weighed and allowed to cool to room temperature. The impregnation solution was prepared by mixing 16.22 g zirconyl nitrate with 30 ml H2O and stirring using a magnetic stirbar, without heat, for 20 minutes to obtain a translucent solution with a total volume of 33 ml. The impregnation solution was used immediately after preparation to impregnate the silica support. The support was impregnated by mixing the impregnation solution and the silica in order to reach the point of incipient wetness.

[0199]Following impregnation, the modified catalyst support was dried in a muffle furnace at a temperature that increased at a ramp rate of 2° C. / min up to 100° C. The temperature was held at 100° C. for 10 hours (support B, code 1112-13-005-4).

Synthesis of Mn2O3-modified Silica Catalyst Support (15% Mn2O3 / SiO2) Using Method a (Support C)

[0201]Silica A bare catalyst support material was dried at 100° C. for 2 hours. 16.8 g of silica was weighed and allowed to cool to room temperature. 4.71 g citric acid was mixed with 8 ml H2O and heated to about 50° C. with stirring until fully dissolved. The solution was cooled to about 35° C., then 9.57 g of manganese nitrate was added and the solution was stirred until fully dissolved. The volume of the solution was adjusted to 19 ml with H2O to form the impregnation solution and then allowed to cool to room temperature. The impregnation solution was used to impregnate the silica support by mixing the impregnation solution and the silica in order to reach the point of incipient wetness.

Abstract

A method for the preparation of a modified catalyst support comprising: (a) treating a catalyst support material with an aqueous solution or dispersion comprising one or more zirconium metal sources, chromium metal sources, manganese metal sources and aluminium metal sources, and one or more polar organic compounds; and (b) drying the treated support, and (c) optionally calcining the treated support. Also provided are catalyst support materials obtainable by the methods, and catalysts prepared from such supports.

Description

INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH[0001]The present invention relates to a method for the preparation of a modified catalyst support and the catalyst supports formed using this method. The present invention also relates to catalyst precursors and catalysts formed on the modified catalyst support.[0002]The supports, precursors and catalysts of the present invention are particularly suitable for use in Fischer-Tropsch reactions.BACKGROUND[0003]All documents cited herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety.[0004]The modification of catalyst supports has conventionally been carried out using organic solvents, as described in, for example, Bouh et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc, 121 (1999) 7201, Bu et al., Advanced Materials Research, 194 (2011) 1807 and US patent application US 2010 / 0024874 A1. In the modern era, there is a continual push towards more environmentally friendly, or “greener”, technologies. This push has caused considerable interest in water-based processes in the catalyst manufact...
