A Modeling Study of Operating Conditions and Different Supports on Fe-Co-Ce Nanocatalyst and Optimizing of Light Olefins Selectivity in the Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis
This study demonstrates the effect of operating conditions (Red-GHSV, inlet H2/CO, Oprat-GHSV) and the effect of Fe-Co-Ce nanocatalyst support. A statistical model using the response surface methodology (RSM) was applied with the target of achieving higher olefins selectivity in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, which indicates the interaction effects of factors. The conditions under which three objectives optimization for maximizing olefins and minimizing paraffins and methane were determined.
