Production of green fuels using novel catalyst via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis: catalyst preparation and characterisation of iron and cobalt on calcium support

Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis is a process where syngas is converted into larger hydrocarbon structure.

Production of green fuels using novel catalyst via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis: catalyst preparation and characterisation of iron and cobalt on calcium support
description Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis is a process where syngas is converted into larger hydrocarbon structure.
