Effects of CO/CO2 ratio in synthesis gas on catalytic behaviors in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis using K/Fe-Cu-Al catalysts

摘要

Owing to the sharp increase in petroleum price for a decade, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) has revived received attention as an alternative method for supplying hydrocarbons (HC) [1]. Synthesis gas from CO2 reforming contains rich CO2 that is much less reactive than CO in FTS. Iron is an ideal catalyst for synthesizing HC from CO2 containing synthesis gas [2]. We are trying to develop the total process for the hydrocarbon synthesis consisting of steam-CO2 mixed reforming of CH4 and FTS.
