Fischer-Tropsch Iron Catalysts Supported on Fibrous Carbon Material

Iron catalysts supported on an activated fibrous carbon material (AFCM) and characterized by high performance in the hydrocarbon synthesis from CO and H-2 have been studied. It has been shown that the promotion of Fe/AFCM catalysts with potassium and aluminum oxides or with copper reduces the optimum temperature of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and enhances the polymerizing activity of the catalysts.
