Up to and during the second world war the major research effort in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis
was carried out in Germany and several production plants were operated there. Initially …

Chapters cover: history and present status of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis; thermodynamics of
the process; carbides, nitrides and carbonitrides of iron as catalysts in the Fischer-Tropsch …

A critical review of the kinetics and selectivity of the Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) is
given. The focus is on reaction mechanisms and kinetics of the water–gas shift and Fischer–…

The decision to build a Fischer–Tropsch (FT) plant is still fraught with risk because it has to
be based on the perceived future price and availability of petroleum crude oil and on local …

An overview of the reactors utilized for the Fischer–Tropsch synthesis is considered during
three time periods: discovery to 1945, 1945–1970, and 1970 to date. A brief outline of the …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes the practical application of fischer-tropsch (FT)
technology. It is the means by which synthesis gas containing hydrogen and carbon …

Due to the large volume of existing literature on Fischer–Tropsch (FT) synthesis, the diversity
of the subject and the actually reoriented interest, it seemed indicated to write a historical …

Identifying the active site on the surface of a heterogeneous catalyst is one of the biggest
challenges in the field of catalysis research. Especially, in the case of structure sensitive and …
