Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
92 words
A process for producing isoparaffins from synthesis gas which comprises contacting the synthesis gas with a catalyst comprising a cadmium component and an acidic support component wherein the iso/normal paraffin ratio of butane in the product is greater than about five, and the iso/normal paraffin ratio of pentane in the product is greater than about eight when the catalyst is tested at reaction pressures above 20 atm, temperatures from 315° to 400° C., synthesis gas rates between 1400 and 2800 cc/h/g catalyst, and hydrogen to carbon monoxide ratios from 2/1 to 1/1.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
92 words
A process for producing isoparaffins from synthesis gas which comprises contacting the synthesis gas with a catalyst comprising a cadmium component and an acidic support component wherein the iso/normal paraffin ratio of butane in the product is greater than about five, and the iso/normal paraffin ratio of pentane in the product is greater than about eight when the catalyst is tested at reaction pressures above 20 atm, temperatures from 315° to 400° C., synthesis gas rates between 1400 and 2800 cc/h/g catalyst, and hydrogen to carbon monoxide ratios from 2/1 to 1/1.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the catalyst comprises about 5 weight percent cadmium oxide.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the acidic support material is rare-earth-exchanged Y zeolite and alumina.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
14 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the acidic support material is aluminum-expanded bentonite clay.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
16 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the acidic support material is cadmium-exchanged Y zeolite and alumina.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
15 words
