[ 1 ] - Preparation and Characterization of CoMn/TiO2 Catalysts for Production of Light Olefins
A series of x(Co, Mn)/TiO2 catalysts (x=2–12wt.%) containing 25%Co and 75%Mn were prepared by the co-impregnation method. All prepared catalysts have been tested in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis for production of C2-C4 olefins. It was found that the catalyst containing 8wt.%(Co,Mn)/TiO2 is an optimal catalyst for production of C...
[ 2 ] - Two-level Full Factorial Design for Selectivity Modeling and Studying Simultaneous Effects of Temperature and Ethanol Concentration in Methanol Dehydration Reaction
Using surface analysis, simultaneous effects of temperature (260-380ºC) and ethanol concentration (0-1%) on dimethyl ether (DME) selectivity, yields of hydrocarbon and DME, and methanol conversion were investigated in methanol dehydration reaction over γ-Al2O3 catalyst. Methanol conversion and yield of hydrocarbon/DME were found to be significantly affected by temperature and the temperature-et...
[ 3 ] - Prediction of Fe-Co-Mn/MgO Catalytic Activity in Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis Using Nu-support Vector Regression
Support vector regression (SVR) is a learning method based on the support vector machine (SVM) that can be used for curve fitting and function estimation. In this paper, the ability of the nu-SVR to predict the catalytic activity of the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) reaction is evaluated and the result is compared with two other prediction techniques including: multilayer perceptron (MLP) and subtractiv...
[ 4 ] - A Neuro-Fuzzy Algorithm for Modeling of Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis over a Bimetallic Co/Ni/Al2O3 Catalyst
An alumina supported Co/Ni catalyst was prepared by sol-gel procedure to study the catalytic behavior during Fischer-Tropsch synthesis in a fixed-bed reactor. The effect of CO conversion (10-50%) on hydrocarbon product distribution (CH4, C5+ and C2-C4 olefin selectivities) was studied. Selectivity for CH4 decreased, while those of C5+<...
[ 5 ] - A review of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis on the cobalt based catalysts
Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is a promising route for production of light olefins via CO hydrogenation over transition metals. Co is one of the most active metals for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Some different variables such as preparation parameters and operational factors can strongly affect the selectivity of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis toward the special products. In the case of preparat...
[ 6 ] - Kinetic Study of Fischer Tropsch Synthesis over co Precipitated Iron-Cerium Catalyst
The kinetic of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis over a co-precipitated Fe-Ce catalyst was investigated in a fixed bed micro reactor. Experimental conditions were varied as follow: reaction pressure 1-15bar, H¬¬¬2/CO feed ratio of 1-3 and space velocity of 3600-5400 h-1 at the temperature range of 270-310°C. 4 models according to the Langmuir-Hinshelwood-Hougen-Watson (LHHW) type rate equation were der...
