| Abstract: | The influence of feed composition cycling on the activity and selectivity of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis over an alumina-supported ruthenium catalyst was investigated using a fixed-bed reactor at 211°C and 446 kPa total pressure. Forced composition cycling suppressed the overall synthesis rate but increased the rates of formation of the C1 to C4 paraffins and shifted the paraffin/olefin ratio. |
