LOW TEMPERATURE FISCHER-TROPSCH SYNTHESIS USING IRON-BASED CATALYSTS WITH ENHANCED REDUCIBILITY

摘要

Recently, the high oil price above 120 US$/barrel results in the deep interest of developing alternative technology for manufacturing clean and economic synthesis fuel for transportation [1]. Coal-to-liquid (CTL) process can be one promising and effective route of producing synthesis fuel in mass production [2]. Development of Fisher-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) catalyst and reactor system is one of core technologies of the CTL process. FTS can be summarized as series reactions of synthesis gas that can produce a wide range of hydrocarbon fuels such as olefins, paraffins, and oxygenated compounds.
