Abstract:
1. A process for the production of hydrocarbons comprising the steps: (a) introducing a feed gas stream comprising hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide into a Fischer Tropsch reactor; (b) reacting said feed gas in the reactor employing a mixed metal oxide catalyst where the reactor is operated at a pressure from 100 psig to 1200 psig and a temperature between 175° C. to 350° C. wherein the CO conversion is greater than 20 mole %; and (c) collecting product from said reactor where the product comprises hydrocarbon and water wherein the total mass flow rate of CO wherein u+v+w+x+y+z=a whole number and n is a number that makes the compound charge neutral; A=Ca A′=Y A″=Li B=Fe, Co, Ni, or Ru ion or a mixture of these ions; B′ is a Boron, Al, Ga, or In +3 ions or a mixture of these +3 ions; B″ is a Cu 0.01≦u≦1.99; 0.01≦v≦1.99; 0.0≦w≦0.1; 0.01≦x≦3.0; 0.01≦y≦1.99 and 0.0≦z≦1.0.
