Design of a Hierarchical Meso/Macroporous Zeolite-Supported Cobalt Catalyst for the Enhanced Direct Synthesis of Isoparaffins from Syngas...

摘要

Currently, many groups across the globe are focused on achieving the direct synthesis of middle isoparaffins (the main components of gasoline) from syngas via the use of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) combined with hydrocracking/isomerization catalysts (acidic zeolites). In order to overcome random selectivity resulting in low yields of the desired product, zeolites with microporous and meso/macroporous structures (hierarchical pores) appear to hold promise because they facilitate enhanced diffusion of reactants and products.
