Abstract

A new product distribution formulation is presented for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS). This formulation, which contains the effect of the metal crystallite size on the product selectivity, can explain all possible Fischer-Tropsch product distributions. The Anderson-Shulz-Flory distribution formulation can be regarded as its approximation in special cases.
