Density Functional Theory Investigation of CH Coupling and CH Hydrogenation Reactions on Different Cobalt Surface Facets and Fischer-Tropsch Temperature Swing Reactor Optimization

Creator:

Petersen, Dennis F.

Abstract:

Fischer-Tropsh Synthesis is a chemical process that converts CO and H₂ (syngas) into long stable hydrocarbon chains to use as fuel. This process suffers from large product distribution that requires expensive post processing. In this study, the reaction mechanism of hydrocarbon chain growth on Co is investigated on different surface...
