  2. 1. Cobalt catalyst supports for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis

    Author : Fatima Pardo-Tarifa; Lars J. Pettersson; Olga Guerrero; KTH; []
    Keywords : Silica; alumina; zirconium; cerium; mesoporous materials; nanoparticles; microemulsion; atrane route; cobalt catalyst; Fischer-Tropsch synthesis; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : In the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis, CO and H2 (synthesis gas) are converted into hydrocarbons that can be further upgraded to high-quality fuels and chemicals. Different carbon sources such as natural gas, coal and biomass can be used as feed-stocks for the synthesis gas. READ MORE

  4. 2. Fischer-Tropsch and FAME Fuels as Alternatives for Diesel Engines; an Experimental Study

    Author : Monica Johansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Emissions; SME; Fischer-Tropsch; NOx; Combustion; Alternative fuels; Soot; Biodiesel; RME; FAME; GTL; PME;

    Abstract : Research into alternative fuels is necessitated by our heavy reliance on limited oil reserves and increasingly strict emissions legislation. The studies reported in this thesis involved conducting engine tests using alternatives to fossil Diesel fuel in both heavy-duty and light-duty single cylinder engines. READ MORE

  5. 3. Fischer-Tropsch synthesis from bio-syngas models over cobalt and cobalt-iron alumina supported catalysts

    Author : Dewi Tristantini; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fe:Co-ratio; Cobalt; Bio-syngas; Fe-Co bimetallic; Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis;

    Abstract : Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis is a process in which synthesis gas (syngas), a mixture of H2 and CO, is converted into long chain hydrocarbons mainly over Co- or Fe-based catalysts. The FT synthesis requires an H2/CO molar ratio (usage ratio) of approximately 2.1 above the catalyst surface. If the inlet syngas H2/CO ratio is less than 2. READ MORE

  6. 4. Development of Fischer-Tropsch catalysis for gasified biomass

    Author : Sara Lögdberg; Sven Järås; Viktoria Martin; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : In order to secure the energy supply to an increasing population and at the same time limit the damage to Earth, i.e. avoiding a fatal climate change as a result of anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (primarily CO2), immediate action is necessary. READ MORE

  7. 5. Water-in-diesel emulsion and microemulsion fuels: composition, structure and effect on emissions

    Author : Anna Lif; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NOx; microemulsion; combustion; diffusometry; alternative fuels; emission; emulsion; Fischer-Tropsch; MFC; PM; microfibrillated cellulose; NMR; surfactant; soot; diesel;

    Abstract : Water-in-diesel fuels, as emulsions and microemulsions, give reduced emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) in combustion in diesel engines compared to regular diesel. These fuels can contribute to an improved local environment in densely populated areas as they can replace regular diesel in existing vehicles without any engine modification requirements. READ MORE
