Participation of Water in the Secondary Transformations of Hydrocarbons on Cobalt–Zeolite Catalysts for the Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis

Abstract

This review is dedicated to the effect of water as the main by-product of the Fischer–Tropsch synthesis on the process. The reasons for the negative effect of water are analyzed and the possible versions of the control of its participation in the process are considered. As an optimal solution to the problem, the use of zeolites in the H form as the constituents of cobalt catalysts for the Fischer–Tropsch synthesis is proposed. Bibliography: 148 references.
