The invention relates to potassium-promoted, Fe(FeyAli-y)24 [0.3&#x3c;&#x2264;0.7] silica-containing extrudates, processes for the preparation of the extrudates with the aid of colloidal silica, and the use of the extrudates to catalyze processes for producing liquid hydrocarbons.

Catalyst composition and catalytic processes for producing liquid hydrocarbons

The invention provides a process for preparing SAPO-11, that comprises combining in an aqueous solution alumina source, P 2 O source and a silica source in the presence of a crystallization template and a surfactant to form a gel, which is then subjected to hydrothermal crystallization and calcination. The so-formed SAPO-11, which possesses unique silicon distribution, high resistance to hydrothermal degradation (desilication) and high surface area, forms another aspect of the invention. Hydroprocessing of a vegetable oil in the presence of a catalyst comprising the Pt and SAPO-11 of the invention is also demonstrated.

Catalysts based on silicoaluminophosphate SAPO-11 and uses thereof

The invention relates to a catalyst suitable for use in the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide-containing gas, said catalyst comprising spinel phase of the formula [Fe(FeAl)O]. Processes for preparing the catalyst and processes for the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide-containing gas in the presence of the catalyst are also disclosed.
