Abstract

The possibility of altering the molecular weight distribution of Fischer-Tropsch products by addition of olefins to the synthesis gas is of practical interest. Two early studies with C-labeled ethylene or propylene indicated that on iron catalysts only a few percent of the added olefins were incorporated into higher hydrocarbons but in a more recent study it was reported that the addition of ethylene or propylene markedly shifted the selectivity to heavier products. This study was designed to help resolve this seeming disagreement.
