Abstract
Researchers tested the commercial Co-based Fischer-Tropsch catalyst and HZSM-5 in a single reactor process. They examined the FT catalyst at 463 K, and HZSM-5 at various temperatures (523, 573, and 623 K). They studied the effect of syngas flow rate, HZSM-5 temperature and loading on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and aromatics selectivities.
HZSM-5 addition suppressed the formation of CO2 and CH4, and remarkably enhanced the simultaneous formation of LPG and aromatics. They determined optimal operating conditions to be: THZM-5 = 623 K, HZSM-5 loading = 2.5 g, and GHSV = 4.8 Lsyngas/(gcat h).
