ABSTRACT:
A catalyst for promoting the molecular restructuring of the components of hydrocarbons to form desired products. The catalyst comprises copper salts, copper acetate being particularly preferred, in combination with anhydrous aluminum chloride. The catalyst can be used with either gaseous hydrocarbon raw materials such as natural gas, refinery gas, biomass decomposition gases, and similar materials, or with solids, meltable solids, or liquid hydrocarbon-containing raw materials including tar sands, oil shale, waxes, asphaltic compositions and the like. In the case of gaseous raw materials, the gases are preferably brought into contact with the copper salt coated on a catalyst support such as refractory alumina, in the presence of anhydrous aluminum chloride, which can be in vaporous form, in a continuous process. When liquids, solids, or meltable solids are treated, the catalyst is added to the reaction vessel containing such raw materials and heated until the products formed are vaporized and driven from the vessel. The products formed are water scrubbed and rectified. A variety of products are thus obtained including materials such as gasoline, kerosene, diesel, light lubes, and others.
