Deviations of Fischer-Tropsch products from an Anderson-Schulz-Flory distribution

Investigation of Products Distribution In Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis By Nano-sized Iron-based Catalyst

Nano-sized iron-based catalyst was prepared by the micro-emulsion method. The composition of the final nano-sized iron catalyst, in term of the atomic ratio contains: 100Fe/4Cu/2Ce. Experimental techniques of XRD, BET, TEM and TPR were used to study the phase, structure and morphology of the catalyst. Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) reaction test was performed in a fixed bed reactor at pressure...

Methanol-to-Hydrocarbons Product Distribution over SAPO-34 and ZSM-5 Catalysts: The applicability of Thermodynamic Equilibrium and Anderson-Schulz-Flory Distribution

The product distribution of methanol to hydrocarbons conversion over SAPO-34 and ZSM-5 catalysts was studied using thermodynamic equilibrium and Anderson-Schulz-Flory (ASF) distributions. The equilibrium compositions were calculated using constrained Gibbs free energy minimization. The effect of catalyst type was considered by setting upper limits to product carbon number due to sh...

Investigations on Hydrotreating of Fischer Tropsch-Biowaxes for Generation of Bio-Products from Lignocellulosic Biomass

The present study describes the application of Fischer Tropsch biowaxes as a feedstock in a pilot-scale hydroprocessing unit at operating conditions very similar to industrial size hydrotreating plants of traditional refineries. The project focus on a future coprocessing of biowax/gasoil blends due to produce bio-products derived from lignocellulosic biomass: crack gases, naphtha, kerosene, die...
