Abstract:
The invention relates to long chain alcohol, to processes for catalytically producing long chain alcohol from carbon monoxide and molecular hydrogen, to equipment useful in such processes, and to the use of long chain alcohol, e.g., for producing fuel, lubricating oil, detergent, and plasticizer. The catalyst is mesoporous and comprises iron and copper.

Claim (Index 21):
An apparatus for producing long chain alcohol, the apparatus comprising:\n (a) at least one reactor vessel, the reactor vessel having an internal volume which includes an upstream region and a downstream region; (b) at least one feed conduit in fluidic communication with a syngas source located upstream of the reactor vessel and the reactor vessel's interior volume, the feed conduit being configured to establish a flow of syngas from the syngas source to the upstream region of the reaction vessel's interior volume; (c) a reaction zone located between the upstream and downstream regions of the reactor vessel's interior volume, the reaction zone being configured to receive the syngas flow from the upstream region of the reactor's interior volume and to discharge a reaction effluent flow comprising the long chain alcohol into the downstream region of the reaction vessel's interior volume; (d) at least one bed of an ordered multi-metallic, mesoporous catalyst located in the reaction zone, wherein (i) the long chain alcohol is produced by a reaction of syngas in the syngas flow in the presence of the catalyst and (ii) the catalyst comprises copper, \u22650.5 wt. % of iron, \u22641.0 wt. % of CuO and \u22641.0 wt. % of Fe3O4, the catalyst having an iron to copper molar ratio in the range of from 0.1 to 10, a plurality of pores having an average pore size in the range of from 2 nm to 50 nm, and an average surface area \u226550 m 2 /g; and (e) at least one product conduit in fluidic communication with the downstream region of the reactor vessel's interior volume and a recovery stage located downstream of the reactor vessel, the product conduit being configured to conduct the reaction effluent flow from the downstream region of the reactor vessel's interior volume to the recovery stage, the recovery stage being configured to recover at least a portion of the long chain alcohol.
