Using a simple thermal treatment under a CO flow, uniform micrometer-sized iron oxalate dihydrate cubes prepared by hydrothermal reaction were transformed into Fe5C2@C nanoparticles to form a mesoporous framework; the final structure was successfully applied to the high-temperature Fischer-Tropsch reaction and it showed high activity (CO conversion = 96%, FTY = 1.5 × 10(-4) molCO gFe(-1) s(-1)) and stability.

Efficient conversion of syngas to linear α-olefins by phase-pure χ-FeC.

Article Synopsis
- Oil has been a primary source for fuels and chemicals, but alternatives like coal, natural gas, and biomass are being explored, with syngas (a mix of CO and H) produced for further processing.
- The Fischer-Tropsch (FT) chemistry is used to convert syngas into fuels and chemicals, but current methods face challenges in efficiently producing valuable chemicals like linear α-olefins (LAOs) and generate excess CO waste.
- Research shows that using phase-pure χ-iron carbide as a catalyst can significantly improve the syngas conversion efficiency and stability, leading to higher yields of desirable LAOs while reducing CO waste under industrial conditions.
Kinetic study of Fe & Co perovskite catalyst in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.
Sci Rep

CFD Research Laboratory, School of Chemical Engineering, Iran University of Science and Technology, Narmak, Tehran, Iran.
The investigation of the reaction's kinetics is one of the most crucial aspects of the design of a commercial process. The current research investigates the kinetics of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis using a perovskite catalyst. The LaFe Co O perovskite catalyst was prepared via the thermal sol-gel technique and characterized using BET, XRD, SEM, and H-TPR techniques.

Transformations of oxygenates (CO, CO, HO, etc.) via MoC-based catalysts are facilitated by the high oxophilicity of the material; however, this can lead to the formation of oxycarbides and complicate the identification of the (most) active catalyst state and active sites. In this context, the two-dimensional (2D) MXene molybdenum carbide MoC ( are passivating surface groups) contains only surface Mo sites and is therefore a highly suitable model catalyst for structure-activity studies.

Hydrocracking of fat or Fischer-Tropsch (FT) wax from biomass to produce the jet fuel of sustainable aviation fuel has been one of the key reactions. -Heptadecane, which is one of the model diesel fractions produced from fat or FT wax, has hardly been used for hydrocracking of hydrocarbon for jet fuel production, while -hexadecane has often been used as one of the model compounds for this reaction. In the present study, a HY-zeolite (50 wt %, SiO/AlO = 100)-AlO (50 wt %) composite-supported Pt (0.

The large-scale conversion of N and H into NH (refs. ) over Fe and Ru catalysts for fertilizer production occurs through the Haber-Bosch process, which has been considered the most important scientific invention of the twentieth century. The active component of the catalyst enabling the conversion was variously considered to be the oxide, nitride, metallic phase or surface nitride, and the rate-limiting step has been associated with N dissociation, reaction of the adsorbed nitrogen and also NH desorption.
