Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
137 words
IN THE METHOD OF PRECONDITIONING AN IRON CATALYST IN POWDERED FOR TO ADAPT IT FOR FLUIDIZATION IN A HYDROCARBON SYNTHESIS PROCESS, THE STEPS OF SUBJECTING THE SAID POWDERED IRON-TYPE CATALYST WHILE MAINTAINED IN THE FORM OF A FLUIDIZED BED TO THE INFLUENCE OF A GAS CONTAINING H2 AND CO IN WHICH THE H2/CO RATIO IS FROM ABOUT 1-5 MOLS OF H2 PER MOL OF CO AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES WITHIN THE RANGE OF FROM ABOUT 500* F. TO 900* F. FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME WHEREBY A SUBSTANTIAL PROPORTION OF THE IRON IS CONVERTED TO IRON CARBIDE AND THE CATALYST UNDERGOES AT LEAST PARTIAL FRAGMENTATION TO SIZES TOO SMALL TO BE SATISFACTORILY ADAPTED TO FLUIDIZATION AND THEREAFTER SEPARATING A PORTION OF THE FINES AND RECOVERING FOR USE IN SAID HYDROCARBON SYNTHESIS PROCESS THE PORTION ADAPTABLE TO FLUIDIZATION.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
43 words
THE METHOD OF PRECONDITIONING OF CLAIM 1 IN WHICH THE CATALYST ORIGINALLY IN THE FORM OF AN OXIDE IS SUBJECTED TO A REDUCTION WITH HYDROGEN TO CONVERT A MAJOR PORTION OF THE IRON OXIDE TO METALLIC IRON PRIOR TO THE SAID PRECONDITIONING OPERATION.
