Fischer-Tropsch catalysis
This project investigates, in detail, the characteristics of current commercial Fischer-Tropsch catalysts which, are crucial for displaying high activity and selectivity, seeking to optimise their performance.
Major achievements
Preparation and initial characterisation of suite of Rh/Co/La/Al2O3 catalysts for Fischer Tropsch (FT) assessment has been completed.
Future plans and directions
- Assessing performance of fabricated FT catalysts as well as optimising the formulation.
- Developing rapid screening process to assess their activity/selectivity potential.
