Researchers develop new catalysts for a direct Fischer-Tropsch to olefins (FTO) process

Green Car Congress

using catalysts that constitute iron nanoparticles (promoted by sulfur plus sodium) homogeneously dispersed on weakly interactive ?-alumina alumina or carbon nanofiber supports. Fe/CNF and Fe/α-Al 2 O 3 exhibited high selectivity toward lower olefins (~60% C) while directing comparatively little carbon to methane (.
