This study investigates the production of diesel fuels by integrated
Fischer–Tropsch synthesis over a bifunctional cobalt catalyst consisting of a
cobalt component
(Co–Al2O3/SiO2)
and a zeolite-containing component (ZSM-5). The catalytic properties were tested
in a continuous-flow reactor with a stationary catalyst bed at 240–250°C, 2 MPa,
and gas WHSV 1000 h–1. The effects of the
SiO2/Al2O3
ratio in a HZSM-5 zeolite on the catalytic performance, catalyst deactivation
rate, and hydrocarbon and fractional compositions of the synthetic product were
identified. The low-temperature properties of the synthesized diesel fuel
satisfy the current requirements for winter fuels.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
