Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis
metal catalysis
Project description
Fischer-Tropsch synthesis offers the possibility to convert coal, natural gas or biomass to high-quality fuels or base chemicals. Complete control of the process is, however, only possible when the complex kinetics that take place on the metal surface are unraveled.
