Noble Metal Promoted CoMn Catalysts for Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis

Catalysis Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Noble metal (Pt, Re and Ru) promoters were investigated for Fischer–Tropsch synthesis at light olefin favouring conditions over Co–Mn catalysts. Characterisation and testing found promotion to increase catalyst activity without compromising the selectivity promoting effects of Mn. The noble metal promoted catalysts showed olefin and C5+ selectivities that were slightly increased compared to the unpromoted catalysts indicating some degree of influence on the selectivity.
