The addition of HZSM-5 to the Fischer-Tropsch process for improved gasoline production
Abstract
dc:description.abstractThe Fischer-Tropsch process has two important disadvantages with regard to the production of gasoline. Firstly, the carbon number distribution of the product spectrum follows the statistical Schulz-Flory function. This means that principally hydrocarbons of all lengths are produced and that the gasoline selectivity is limited to a theoretical maximum value of about 48%.
