CATALYST FOR DIRECT PRODUCTION OF ISOPARAFFIN-RICH SYNTHETIC OIL AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC B01J21/02 B01J25/00 B01J29/04 C07C1/04 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a catalyst for producing isoparaffin-rich synthetic oil from CO and H₂, and a method of producing said catalyst. The catalyst is a granular porous composite material containing a spatial heat-conducting mesh if aluminium metal and Raney cobalt and a linking component containing zeolite in H form. In the composite material, the fraction of macropores in the open porosity of the catalyst granules is 55-79% and the fraction of mesopores with size of 70-500 Е in the open porosity of the catalyst granules is 7-20%. The method of producing the catalyst includes mixing powder of the linking component, peptising the obtained mixture with a solution of nitric acid to obtain a linking component in form of a homogeneous gel, mixing the homogeneous gel with fine Raney cobalt powder, aluminium metal powder and a liquid phase to obtain a homogeneous paste, extruding the obtained paste to obtain granules and calcining the obtained granules. One of the powders of the linking component used is zeolite in H form.

EFFECT: improved mass transfer of reactants into the catalyst granules and high content of isoparaffins in the obtained oil.
