20090124712 - Process for the production of hybrid catalysts for fischer-tropsch synthesis and hybrid catalyst produced according to said process: Process for the production of hybrid catalysts formed by mixing two catalysts; one active in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, the other being bifunctional. Such hybrid catalyst thus formed is active both in hydrocracking and in hydroisomerisation reactions. The present invention in addition provides obtainment of a hybrid catalyst and application thereof conjointly... Agent: Nixon & Vanderhye, PC

20090124713 - Low-pressure fischer-tropsch process: A Fischer-Tropsch process for producing diesel fuel or diesel blending stock with a high cetane number, in a concentration of 65-90 wt % at pressures below 200 psia, using a cobalt catalyst with a rehenium and/or ruthenium promoter. The catalyst is a cobalt catalyst with crystallites having an average diameter... Agent: Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP
