摘要
Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) is one of the promising technologies to produce liquid fuels and fine chemicals from coal, natural gas and biomass. Significant improvements in reactor technology and catalyst development are the focus of research in this area. In this work, the effects of 1.0 wt% promotor such as Mn, Mg, Co and Ni on the FTS activity and selectivity of mesoporous alumina supported KCuFe catalyst were studied. All synthesized promoted catalysts were characterized using BET, XRD, H-2-TPR, XPS, TEM and XANES. The FTS reaction was carried out in a fixed bed reactor at 270 degrees C, 300 psi, 2000 h(-1) and H-2/CO= 1.25. In this work, the Ni-promoted catalyst showed the highest methane selectivity (similar to 29 %). The Co-promoted catalyst showed the least Olefins/Paraffins (O/P) ratio and a similar to 5% increase in methane selectivity. Mg-promoted catalyst performed average but better than Ni and Co-promoted catalysts. However, Mn-supported catalyst outperformed Mg, Ni and Co-promoted catalysts and resulted in higher C-5+ selectivity along with a marginal increase in CO conversion. The similar to 5%, 2%, and 2% decline in CO2, CH4 and C-2-C-4 selectivities were also registered upon the addition of Mn promotor. The improvement in FTS activity and selectivity of Mn-promoted catalyst is related to the increase in iron dispersion and reducibility, as seen during H-2-TPR, XPS and XANES analyses. The presence of Mn+3 and Mn+4, as confirmed by Mn 2p XPS and Mn K-edge XANES, indicates that the interaction at the electronic level between manganese and iron has contributed to improved performance. This study concludes that Mn is the most effective promotor for the synthesized mesoporous alumina supported KCuFe catalyst for the FT synthesis process.
