Fischer-Tropsch synthesis using zeolite-supported iron catalysts for the production of light hydrocarbons
Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) for the production of olefins from syngas was investigated on FeCuK impregnated on zeolite catalysts such as ZSM-5, Mordenite and Beta-zeolite. ZSM-5 supported catalyst showed the best activity among the three catalysts due to the high reducibility of iron oxides. It also exhibited high olefin selectivity compared to a catalyst prepared by physical mixing of the two components, due to the presence of moderate number of acid sites.
