20060111455 - Elongated shaped particles use as a catalyst or support thereof: An elongated-shaped particle having two protrusions; each extending from and attached to a central position, wherein the central position is aligned along the longitudinal axis of the particle, the cross-section of the particle occupying the space encompassed by the outer edges of six circles around a central circle, in which...

20060111456 - Process for the selective methanation of carbonmonoxide (co) contained in a hydrogen-rich reformate gas: The present invention provides a methanation catalyst prepared by depositing Pt and Ru on a metal oxide carrier by incipient wetness impregnation or precipitation deposition, drying and calcining the deposited carrier to obtain a Pt—Ru/metal oxide catalyst. This catalyst can selectively catalyze methanation of CO, wherein hydrogen and CO in...

20060111457 - Process for the production of a hydrogen-rich reformate gas by methanol autothermal reforming reaction: The present invention provides a catalyst for the methanol autothermal reforming reaction, which includes a mixed oxide of cerium and zirconium as a carrier, and Pt deposited on the carrier. The catalyst of the present invention can catalyze a feed containing methanol, water vapor and air undergoing the autothermal reforming...

20060106119 - Novel integration for co and h2 recovery in gas to liquid processes: Methods for integrating a syngas production unit with a gas to liquid (GTL) system, and a power generation unit to efficiently use hydrogen and carbon monoxide contained in the syngas produced from methane-containing hydrocarbon feedstock (e.g. natural gas). Membrane separation and other separation technologies are used to separate components of...

20060100293 - Fischer-tropsch process using a fischer-tropsch catalyst and a zeolite-containing catalyst: Fischer-Tropsch process for the conversion of carbon monoxide and hydrogen to C5+ hydrocarbon mixtures in which process use is made of Fischer-Tropsch catalyst particles and fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalyst particles. The FCC catalyst can be a fresh FCC catalyst, or an equilibrium catalysts (E-cat)....
