Physico-Chemical Investigations on Catalytic Mechanism. IX. On the Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis of Hydrocarbons with Special Reference to Factors essential to the Particular Catalysts. (Experimental Series II) (5)

Abstract

Abstract (1) The experimental materials used in this investigation are briefly described along with the preparations of the catalysts. (2) The experimental procedure with reference to our previous paper is presented. (3) The typical results, as related to the catalytic activity and gaseous products, are tabulated and some correlations are offered. (4) The effects of such promoters as U3O8, Cu, and Mn along with those of a carrier, Kieselguhr, upon the catalytic activity are tabulated and discussed; furthermore, possible correlations with the oil formation are presented. (5) The results of the effects of the reaction temperature, as well as of the pretreatment upon the activity, with special emphasis on the oil formations and gaseous products are presented and discussed rather thoroughly, and some possible correlations are given. (6) Finally, the properties of the liquid products for the series of F19-F29 for the type of catalysts, Co+x%U3O8+y%Cu+z%Mn+w% Kieselguhr, such as refractive indices, specific gravities, apparent molecular weights and elementary analysis data are compiled in the table.
