Carbon number distribution and the chain-growth mechanism of products in the modified Fischer-Tropsch synthesis on a reduced promoted fused magnetite catalyst

Journal Article · · J. Catal.; (United States)
The investigation of carbon number distribution of FT synthesis products through the use of the well-known Schulz-Flory equations in the chemistry of polymers is the subject of numerous publications and is of interest in the study of the carbon chain-growth mechanism and the formation of synthesis products. To the authors, modified Fischer-Tropsch syntheses (CO + H/sub 2/ + substrate containing NH/sub 2/, OH, CHO, C=C, C similarly ordered C, and other groups) on iron catalysts are of particular interest in such studies. The present work is dedicated to the study of carbon number distribution of a real polyfunctional product of ammonia-modified FT synthesis. It discusses the mechanism of formation of alkylamines in this synthesis and of the chain-growth process. 10 references.
