P-08 Effect of chemical species on FT synthesis catalyst for aviation fuel production from woody biomass

Abstract

The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) of syngas, whose composition was H_2:CO:N_2 = 2:1:3 (volumetric ratio), was carried out using Co-based catalysts in order to produce hydrocarbons (HCs) equivalent to kerosene, which is used as an alternative aviation fuel. Co-based FTS catalysts modified using a metal were prepared and characterized. The FTS had been conducted in a downdraft continuous-flow-type fixed-bed reactor under a temperature of 225℃ and a pressure of 3.0 MPa for 4.5 h. The effect of metals included in the Co-based catalyst on the FTS was studied by focusing on CO conversion, primary kerosene yield, and the carbon mass balance.
