摘要
An investigation has been conducted on the addition of from 1 to 2% ethene to different feed mixtures of synthesis gas. Experiments were carried out over a reduced commercial cobalt catalyst at a temperature of 473 K and 110 kPa pressure. Hydrocarbons from C3 to C7 revealed rate increases of from 50 to 100%. Interestingly, methane production rates were unchanged, suggesting that fragmentation of ethene into C1 did not occur to any appreciable extent. As a result, the relative selectivities of the higher hydrocarbons were improved. However, the certain feed compositions, the chain growth factor, α, was unaffected, reinforcing the belief that C2 species can participate as a chain initiator. A mechanism for the ethene-dosed Fischer-Tropsch reaction is also proposed. © 1990.
