Chemical and structural effects of silica in iron-based Fischer–Tropsch synthesis catalysts

Silica affects iron Fischer–Tropsch catalysts in several ways. As a chemical promoter, it inhibits reduction and carburization of the iron, while in structural sense, it improves the iron dispersion and stabilizes the active phase. Finally, it suppresses the formation of methane. [Display omitted] ►...
