This disclosure is particularly useful for converting syngas via the Fischer-Tropsch reactions to make olefins and/or alcohols.

The present invention relates to a catalyst for oxidative dehydrogenation of butene and a method for producing the same. The catalyst for oxidative dehydrogenation of butene has a large amount of Mo—Bi phase acting as a reaction active phase on the surface, and therefore, can exhibit high catalytic activity, high conversion rate and high butadiene selectivity in the oxidative dehydrogenation of butene.

A monolithic catalyst used for a carbon dioxide hydrogenation reaction and a method for preparing the same. The catalyst comprises a carrier, a coating, and active components. The carrier is a honeycomb ceramic. The coating and the active components are separately applied to honeycomb ceramic hole walls from inside to outside. Moreover, each of the honeycomb ceramic holes is divided into an upper segment and a lower segment, and different active components are separately loaded on the two segments. The method for preparing the monolithic catalyst comprises first applying a coating to a honeycomb ceramic by means of impregnation to obtain a coating-containing carrier, and then applying active components to an upper segment and a lower segment of the coating-containing carrier successively by means of impregnation to obtain the monolithic catalyst.

A method for producing a multimetal oxide catalyst comprises preparation of a precursor composition, exposing said precursor composition to elevated temperatures to activate the composition, and grinding the activated composition. The preparation of the precursor composition comprises: a) forming a plasticized precursor composition from the constituents of the composition; b) discharging the plasticized precursor composition from an extruder having at least one die to form extrudates; c) allowing the extrudates to drop onto a transfer surface disposed beneath the at least one die whereby the extrudates break into pieces which come to rest on the transfer surface; d) transferring the pieces to at least one drying chamber; and e) moving the pieces, through the at least one drying chamber on an air permeable drying conveyor belt; wherein steps b) through d) are carried out under reduced pressure. The method allows the production of a multimetal oxide catalyst with uniform characteristics. Fine particles of the multimetal oxide precursor that may be generated during extrusion of the plasticized precursor composition and handling of the extrudates are removed.
