Popis: | The regeneration of a promoted transition-metal-zeolite catalyst that had been used to convert synthesis gas to gasoline-range hydrocarbons was investigated in a mixed reactor system. Carbonaceous deposits were found on the catalyst-a coprecipitated cobalt-thoria admixed with ZSM-5 zeolite-after it has been subjected to low hydrogen to carbon monoxide ratio synthesis gas at the processing conditions. Oxidative regenerations did not succeed in returning the catalyst to its initial synthesis activity. X-ray diffraction analysis of the used and regenerated catalyst samples suggested that sintering of the cobalt occurred. The crystallite size of the Co/sub 3/O/sub 4/ formed after regeneration was inversely related to the synthesis gas conversion after reduction of the Co/sub 3/O/sub 4/ to the metal. |
