All catalysts are effective for synthesis gas conversion

3
2 Increase in particle size of the iron component is reflected in an increase in % CO and % H2 conversion (Table 1 and Figure 1). 3
3 All catalysts are effective for the water gas shift reaction 4
4 The % hydrocarbons obtained in the reactor effluent increases at the higher temperature (Figure 2) 4
5 Significant quantities of low molecular weight (C1-C4) hydrocarbons are obtained (Figures 3 and 4). 4
6 All catalysts produce significant quantities of liquid hydrocarbons, C5 + (oil) (Figure 4) 4
7 The Fe/mordenite catalysts with the stronger acidity (SiO2/Al2O3 ratio = 17.4) produces no wax. 4
8 The Fe/mordenite catalyst with the strongest acidity (SiO2/Al2O3 ratio = 17.4) produces the highest % aromatics in the liquid hydrocarbon product (Figure 5). 4
9 The Fe/mordenite catalyst with SiO2/Al2O3 ratio = 11.4 produces 4
