16 Claims

1. A method for preparing C₂to C₅paraffins comprising:

introducing a feed stream comprising hydrogen gas and carbon monoxide into a reaction zone of a reactor; and

converting the feed stream into a product stream comprising C₂to C₅paraffins in the reaction zone in the presence of a hybrid catalyst, the hybrid catalyst comprising:

a microporous catalyst component; and

a metal oxide catalyst component selected from the group consisting of:

(A) a bulk material consisting of gallium oxide,

(B) gallium oxide present on a titanium dioxide support material, and

(C) a mixture of gallium oxide and at least one promoter present on a support material, the support material comprising at least one oxide of a metal selected from Group 4 of the IUPAC periodic table of elements.
