Catalytic Conversion Of Model Biomass-Derived Syngas To Hydrocarbons Via Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis, Jin Hu Aug 2014

Catalytic Conversion Of Model Biomass-Derived Syngas To Hydrocarbons Via Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis, Jin Hu

Theses and Dissertations

Biomass to Liquids via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (BTL-FT) is regarded as one of the most promising routes for providing alternative solution to growing demand for energy and environmental protection. In Chapter I, the development and key issues of BTL-FT process (especially Fischer-Tropsch synthesis) were reviewed and identified. In Chapter II, Mo/HZSM-5 catalyst was synthesized using Incipient Wetness Impregnation method and tested in nitrogen rich model bio-syngas. Different operation parameters (temperature, pressure, and GHSV) were tested to investigate their influence on the catalytic performance. Those parameters were found to affect the performance significantly. Liquid samples from conversion were mainly composed of C8 …
