Syngas Conversion Over Cobalt-Nickel-HZSM-5 Catalysts

这是一氧化碳在钛或钒负载的钴镍合金（费托）催化剂上加氢的研究。其中一个目标是提高汽油中碳氢化合物的产量。催化剂单独测试以及与沸石HZSM-5结合测试。考察了温度、压力、空速、一氧化碳/氢气比、沸石与钴镍催化剂的配比等工艺参数对反应的影响。所处理的问题在合成燃料和化学品生产中都很重要。这是本科院校研究（RUI）公告下的一个奖项。这项工作将在一所少数族裔占主导地位的大学的本科生中进行。* * *

9318950 Jothimurugesan This is an investigation of the hydrogenation of carbon monoxide over cobalt-nickel alloy (Fischer-Tropsch) catalysts supported on titania or vanadia. One objective is to enhance the yield of hydrocarbons in the gasoline range. Catalysts are tested alone as well as in combination with the zeolite HZSM-5. The effects of process variables such as temperature, pressure, space velocity, carbon monoxide/hydrogen ratio, and the ratio of zeolite to Fischer-Tropsch (cobalt-nickel) catalyst are investigated. The issues addressed are significant in both synfuels and chemicals production. This is an award under the Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) announcement. The effort will be performed with undergraduates at a predominantly minority institution. ***
