[ 1 ] - The Application of Hybrid RSM/ANN Methodology of an Iron-based Catalyst Performance in Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis

In this research, the performance and kinetics of an iron/manganese oxide catalyst in a fixed-bed reactor by Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis is studied. The range of operating conditions are; P = 1 – 12 bar, T = 513 - 553 K, H2/CO ratio = 1 - 2 and GHSV = 4200 – 7000 ((〖cm〗^3 (STP))/h/g_cat). The effect of these independent variables, on Fischer-Tropsch product were performed by using a statistical m...

[ 2 ] - Two-level Full Factorial Design for Selectivity Modeling and Studying Simultaneous Effects of Temperature and Ethanol Concentration in Methanol Dehydration Reaction

Using surface analysis, simultaneous effects of temperature (260-380ºC) and ethanol concentration (0-1%) on dimethyl ether (DME) selectivity, yields of hydrocarbon and DME, and methanol conversion were investigated in methanol dehydration reaction over γ-Al2O3 catalyst. Methanol conversion and yield of hydrocarbon/DME were found to be significantly affected by temperature and the temperature-et...
