In every thermal upgrading process, short-chain hydrocarbons contain a part of the gas byproducts. These compounds are hydrogen-rich materials, which are considered as low value wastes. In this study, the efforts were made to catalytically convert these off-gases to liquid fuels. Synthetic gases...

Investigation of pathways of CO and CO2 in a Fischer-Tropsch system using tracer studies, development of reaction mechanism and kinetic expressions
DownloadFall 2015
The Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis is an indirect feeds-to-liquids process to produce synthetic crude oil from any carbonaceous source such as coal, natural gas or biomass. The carbonaceous source is converted to synthesis gas by gasification or reforming, which then undergoes simultaneous...

The use of transition metal catalysts - either homogeneous (discrete well-defined metal complexes) or heterogeneous (more poorly-defined metal surfaces) - play an important role in the transformations of small substrates into larger, value-added compounds. Although heterogeneous catalysts have...
