Chemistry: fischer-tropsch processes; or purification or recovery of products thereof inventions 06/07

20070142483 - Fischer-tropsch catalysts: Catalyst compositions and methods for F-T synthesis which exhibit high CO conversion with minor levels (preferably less than 35% and more preferably less than 5%) or no measurable carbon dioxide generation. F-T active catalysts are prepared by reduction of certain oxygen deficient mixed metal oxides.... Agent: Greenlee Winner And Sullivan P C

20070142482 - Method for the production of dimethyl ether: The present invention is directed to a method for producing DME, which comprises separating a CO2 rich stream from a crude product stream containing DME and CO2 obtained by a DME synthesis from a feed syn gas; introducing the CO2 rich stream to a reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reactor... Agent: David A Einhorn Anderson Kill & Olick

20070142481 - Process for synthesising hydrocarbons: A process (10) for synthesising hydrocarbons includes feeding a gaseous feedstock (18) comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide, into a first Fischer-Tropsch reaction stage (12) which is a three-phase low temperature catalytic Fischer-Tropsch reaction stage, and allowing the hydrogen and carbon monoxide partially to react catalytically in the first reaction stage... Agent: Senniger Powers

20070135527 - Process for the running of a reactor suitable for heterogeneous reactions combined with reactions taking place in three-phase systems: Process for the running of a reactor in which reactions take place in multiphase systems, wherein a gaseous phase prevalently consisting of CO and H2 is bubbled into a suspension of a solid in the form of particles (catalyst) in a liquid (prevalently reaction product), according to the Fischer-Tropsch technology.... Agent: Oblon, Spivak, Mcclelland, Maier & Neustadt, P.C.

20070129449 - Method and installation for producing liquid energy carriers from a solid carbon carrier: The invention relates to a method and installation for producing liquid energy carriers from a solid carbon carrier by means of gasifying a solid carbon carrier. The installation is at least comprised of a drying device (1), a gasification apparatus (2), a synthesizing device (3) for synthesizing the liquid energy... Agent: Jordan And Hamburg LLP

20070129450 - Process for producing variable syngas compositions: Disclosed is a process for the production of a variable syngas composition by gasification. Two or more raw syngas streams are produced in a gasification zone having at least 2 gasifiers and a portion the raw syngas is passed to a common water gas shift reaction zone to produce at...
