Fe-MIL-88B was prepared by a method that utilizes ferric nitrate and terephthalic acid (TPA or H2BDC) as precursors. The catalyst was characterized by TEM, SEM, FTIR, XRD, BET, and TGA. The pyrolyzed MOF (Fe-MIL-88B/C) was then tested for FTS at 300 psi, 300/340°C and H2/CO=1 after reduction under flow of hydrogen at 400°C for 4 hours. GC product results show promising FTS performance and stability compared to previously reported Fe-MOF derived catalysts with CO conversion of 96.90% at 340°C for 40 hours and 97.45% at 300°C for 26 hours.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
