The interest in Gas-to-Liquid technology (GTL) is growing worldwide because it involves a two-step indirect conversion of natural gas to higher hydrocarbons ranging from Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) paraffin wax. GTL makes possible obtain clean diesel, naphtha, lubes, olefins, and other industrially important organics gas. This article brief review discussing the state-of-the-art GTL, includin...

In Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS), a variety of hydrocarbons with different chain lengths are formed. The selectivities depend on the catalyst and reaction conditions. Co-feeding olefins allows changing selectivity even outside rules Anderson-Schulz-Flory distribution. this work, ethene, propene, 1-butene were co-fed to Co-Mn-catalyzed FTS increase olefin in C3- C8-fraction. An CO rate oxygena...

Abstract This study investigates the production of diesel fuels by integrated Fischer–Tropsch synthesis over a bifunctional cobalt catalyst consisting component (Co–Al 2 O 3 /SiO ) and zeolite-containing (ZSM-5). The catalytic properties were tested in continuous-flow reactor with stationary bed at 240–250°C, MPa, gas WHSV 1000 h –1 . effects SiO /Al ratio HZSM-5 zeolite on performance, deactiv...

Catalyst productivity and selectivity to C5+ hydrocarbons are critical design criteria in the choice of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) catalysts and reactors. Cobalt-based catalysts appear to provide the best compromise between performance and cost for the synthesis of hydrocarbons from CO/H2 mixtures. Optimum catalysts with high cobalt concentration and site density can be prepared by control...

In situ soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) was employed to study the adsorption and dissociation of carbon monoxide molecules on cobalt nanoparticles with sizes ranging from 4 to 15 nm. The majority of CO molecules adsorb molecularly on the surface of the nanoparticles, but some undergo dissociative adsorption, leading to oxide species on the surface of the nanoparticles. We found that th...
