  Promoted and unpromoted iron-based catalysts in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis were prepared by the impregnation method. The composition of the final iron catalysts, regarding to the atomic ratio is as follow 20%Fe/-Al2O3, 20%Fe/5%Cu/3%Zr/-Al2O3. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), inductively coupled plasma (ICP), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), hydrogen temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR), and BET techniques. The catalyst activity and product selectivity were studied in a fixed bed reactor under 20 bar of pressure, H2/CO = 1, in the temperature (270, 285, and 300 °C) and GHSV range of (2, 4, and 6 l.h-1.gcat-1). Then, the effect of temperature, GHSV and promoters (Cu and Zr) on the catalyst performance were investigated. Increasing the temperatures and GHSV were change CO conversion and product selectivity. The promoted iron-based catalysts have higher C5+ selectivity than the unpromoted catalyst, while C2-C4 selectivity decreased because of simultaneous use of Cu and Zr for promoting the iron catalyst. The Zr and Cu promoters increased the reduction rate of Fe2O3 by providing H2 dissociation sites. The unpromoted and promoted catalysts were tested, where the promoted catalyst showed desirable performance. Manuscript profile

  Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) is conducted on the catalysts such as Al2O3, SiO2, TiO2 and ZrO2 supported with metals like Co, Fe or Ru. While hydrogen to CO ratio is low, the Iron supported catalysts are more useful to produce alkenes, branched hydrocarbons and oxygen More

  Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) is conducted on the catalysts such as Al2O3, SiO2, TiO2 and ZrO2 supported with metals like Co, Fe or Ru. While hydrogen to CO ratio is low, the Iron supported catalysts are more useful to produce alkenes, branched hydrocarbons and oxygenates due to Iron's water-gas-shift (WGS) activity. The aim of this article is to produce C5+ hydrocarbon product from synthetic gas using Fe-Cu-Sr/ γ-Al2O3 nano-sized catalyst. The nano iron-based catalyst was synthesized by wet impregnation method. The synthesized catalyst (18Fe/4Cu/2Sr/ γ-Al2O3) was characterized by XRD, BET, ICP, SEM and H2-TPR techniques. Effect of reaction pressure on the product selectivity and catalyst activity was investigated in CO hydrogenation reaction. The nano catalyst was loaded in a fixed-bed reactor and tested in pressure of 16 and 20 atm, at temperature of 290 oC, with H2/CO ratio of 1 and GHSV of 2 l.h-1.g cat-1. The results demonstrated that with increasing reaction pressure, the CO conversion and C5+ selectivity increased from 63.8% and 44.03% to 78.3% and 46.2%, respectively. Manuscript profile
