Cobalt-containing lignin-based fibers were synthesized in one step by electrospinning of Alcell lignin solutions as carbon precursor, a low-cost and renewable co-product the paper making industry. The thermostabilized air to avoid fusion during carbonization process between 500-800 ºC obtain cobalt-containing porous submicron fibers. These catalysts studied for Low-Temperature Fischer-Tropsch s...

This review analyzes the literature from 80’s to beginning of 2020 and covers use carbon materials as supports for cobalt-based catalysts used in Fischer Tropsch reaction. The article is composed two sections. first one details reactivity supported cobalt with a particular focus on: i) reaction mechanisms conditions, ii) effect particle size, iii) confinement effects, iv) hydrogen spillover, v)...

The unique catalytic activity of vanadium nitrogenase suggests a new direction for the direct production of biofuels from CO with either synthetic catalysts or nitrogenase-containing bacteria. The reduction of CO by V nitrogenase to light hydrocarbons shows striking similarities to the established Fischer-Tropsch process; however, the enzyme does not use H(2) directly for this reaction. ADP=ade...
