Effect of promoter type and synthesis method on catalytic performance of Fe-Mn based FT-olefin catalysts.

ABSTRACT: Direct production of light olefins, building blocks of chemical industry, can be attained by developing efficient catalysts for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS). The nature of FTS complicates the catalyst development process as the product distribution is affected by the components and the preparation methods of the catalyst. In this work, high-throughput (HT) methodology is employed to overcome this problem by testing many different catalyst formulations. Fast performance screening of 40 different α-Al₂O₃ supported Fe-Mn based catalysts promoted with Cu, K and Ni, using different impregnation agents, was performed in a HT test system at atmospheric pressure. Promising catalyst candidates identified by HT analysis were further subjected to high pressure FTS in a conven
