Catalyst Support Effects on Selectivity in the Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis

  • Chapter
Catalytic Conversions of Synthesis Gas and Alcohols to Chemicals

Abstract

While the catalytic activity of a catalyst is important, of even more importance is catalytic selectivity. This is especially true for the Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) synthesis, where much work is being done to selectively make gasoline, olefins, or other classes of hydrocarbons.
