Fischer-Tropsch synthesis over lignin-derived cobalt-containing porous carbon fiber catalysts

Cobalt-containing lignin-based fibers were synthesized in one step by electrospinning of Alcell lignin solutions as carbon precursor, a low-cost and renewable co-product of the paper making industry. The lignin fibers were thermostabilized in air to avoid the fusion during the carbonization process between 500 and 800 °C to obtain cobalt...

Synthesis, characterization, and application of ruthenium-doped SrTiO₃ perovskite catalysts for microwave-assisted methane dry reforming

A series of ruthenium-doped strontium titanate (SrTiO₃) perovskite catalysts were synthesized by conventional and microwave-assisted hydrothermal methods. The structure was analyzed by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) confirming the formation of the perovskite phase with some TiO₂ anatase phase in all the catalysts. Microwave...

Formulation and catalytic performance of MOF-derived Fe@C/Al composites for high temperature Fischer–Tropsch synthesis

High productivity towards C2–C4 olefins together with high catalyst stability are key for optimum operation in high temperature Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (HT-FTS). Here, we report the fabrication of Fe@C/Al composites that combine both the outstanding catalytic properties of the Fe–BTC MOF-derived Fe catalyst and the excellent mechanical...

Carbon/H-ZSM-5 composites as supports for bi-functional Fischer-Tropsch synthesis catalysts

Mesoporous H-ZSM-5-carbon composites, prepared via tetrapropylammonium hydroxide (TPAOH) post treatment of H-ZSM-5 followed by deposition of pyrolytic carbon, have been used as the support for the preparation of Co-based Fischer-Tropsch catalysts. The resulting catalysts display an improved performance during Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS),...
