Catalysts for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis

The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is a chemical process for converting synthesis gas (a mixture of CO and H2) into long-chain hydrocarbons, especially liquid hydrocarbons.
The products of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis are a wide range of hydrocarbons, from methane (CH4) to high-molecular-weight paraffins. The main component is usually a mixture of alkanes.
Common catalysts for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis are iron (Fe), cobalt (Co) and nickel (Ni).
C&CS can advise on the application and offers various supports (zeolites) for FT catalysts.
