Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
43 words
A hydrocarbon synthesis process comprising reacting hydrogen and carbon monoxide, in the presence of catalyst containing cobalt on a titania support or a titania-containing support, in a slurry bubble column with the Peclet number being at least 3 but not greater than 10.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
25 words
The process of claim 1, wherein the catalyst further contains a promoter metal, preferably in a weight ratio relative to cobalt of at least 0.05/1.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
10 words
The process of claim 2, wherein the promoter is rhenium.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
The process of claim 3, wherein the weight ratio of rhenium is 0.1:1 to 1:1.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
The process of any one of claims 1 to 4, wherein the catalyst is slurried in a wax having a boiling point above 700°F (371.1°C).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
18 words
The process of claim 5, wherein the wax boils in the range of from 700-1025°F (371.1 to 551.7°C).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
30 words
The process of claim 5 or claim 6, wherein the wax is produced by a hydrocarbon synthesis process employing a cobalt or cobalt/rhenium on a titania or titania containing support.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
The process of any one of claims 1 to 7, wherein cobalt is present in an amount of at least 5 wt%.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
38 words
The process of any one of claims 1 to 8, wherein the reaction conditions include temperatures of from 160-360°C, pressures of 80-600 psig (0.5516 to 4.137 MPa), and hydrogen to carbon monoxide ratios of from 1.5/1 to 2.5/1.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
28 words
The process of any one of claims 1 to 9, wherein the reaction conditions include temperatures of 190-230°C, and pressures of from 150-350 psig (1.034 to 2.413 MPa).
