Studies on Carbon Neutrality over Cobalt based multi-functional FTS hybrid catalyst for Application in GTL-FPSO process

Abstract

The Gas to Liquid (GTL) process is one of the most remarkable catalytic technologies for carbon neutrality in fuel production. In the GTL process, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) reaction is known as a core process that changes synthesis gas (CO + H2) to high-value hydrocarbon products. The CO2 utilization in FTS process takes the chance to contribute carbon neutrality in an economic and eco-friendly way. In this study, the CHA shape zeolite was synthesized by a conventional hydrothermal method, and Co/γ-Al2O3 catalyst was prepared by an impregnation method. The hybrid FTS catalyst was prepared by physically mixing Co supported catalyst with synthesized zeolite. The effect of CO2 ratio in syngas was investigated on conversion and selectivity. The physiochemical properties of all prepared catalysts were characterized by various characterization techniques.
