Effect of Drying Temperature on Iron Fischer-Tropsch Catalysts Prepared by Solvent Deficient Precipitation

Table 8

CO consumption rate, activation energy, and CH₄ selectivity of each catalyst at 250°C.

Catalyst	CO consumption rate; (mmol/g/h)	EA; (kJ/mol)	CH4 selectivity (%)
C80	35.1	133	3.65
C100	40.9	119	6.11
C115	37.3	112	4.50
C130	47.2	115	3.46
C130r	52.7	109	3.07
C130b	46.9	111	3.27
C150	31.0	130	5.79
C150NP	33.1	118	4.64

Rate data at exactly 250°C were not available and were obtained using the calculated activation energies and the Arrhenius equation to estimate the 250°C values.
