The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis catalysed by iron is a well-established process for the production of synthetic fuels, waxes and many other chemicals, yet there are many aspects that are still not totally understood. Controversy still exists as to what the active phase(s) is of the iron Fischer-Tropsch catalyst. A big drawback of the iron based Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is that one of its primary products, wate, changes the structure and stability of the catalyst. Little is know about the effect that water partial pressure has on the phases present in the working catalyst. 2014-07-31T11:12:44Z 2014-07-31T11:12:44Z 2004 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5351 eng application/pdf Department of Chemical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
