Abstract
Negative deviations from an Anderson-Schulz-Flory distribution have been observed for the product of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. The catalyst was a complex-derived iron-calcium catalyst promoted with cesium sulphate, therefore, neither carrier acidity nor shape selectivity can explain the deviations. This is the first time that chemical modifications of the catalyst are observed to result in negative ASF deviations.
