Chemistry: fischer-tropsch processes; or purification or recovery of products thereof inventions 08/09

20090215911 - Structured catalyst bed and method for conversion of feed materials to chemical products and liquid fuels: The present invention is a structured monolith reactor and method that provides for controlled Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis. The invention controls mass transport limitations leading to higher CO conversion and lower methane selectivity. Over 95 wt % of the total product liquid hydrocarbons obtained from the monolithic catalyst are in the... Agent: Battelle Memorial Institute

20090203804 - Production of detergent range alcohols: This invention relates to a process for the production of aldehydes/alcohols and alkyl benzene. According to the invention, a hydrocarbon feed stream containing olefins and paraffins having an average number of carbon atoms from 10 to 18 per molecule, typically derived from the condensation product of a Fischer-Tropsch reaction is...
