Strategies to enhance the (C9-C16) range sustainable aviation fuel selectivity in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis
Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) is a promising route for producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) by converting syngas derived from renewable sources into hydrocarbons within the jet fuel range (C9-C16). However, controlling product selectivity remains challenging due to the conventional Anderson-Schulz-Flory (ASF) distribution, which favors a broad hydrocarbon distribution. This review critically examines various experimentally demonstrated strategies to enhance and narrow the SAF selectivity in FTS. Key approaches include adjusting catalyst redox characteristics, modifying the reduction environment, optimizing metal-support interactions, shifting reaction equilibrium, and incorporating suitable promoters. Furthermore, syngas feed dilution with CO2 have been explored as additional means to suppress methane formation and maximize mid-distillate production. These strategies and machine learning collectively contribute to overcoming ASF limitations, enabling a more targeted synthesis of jet fuel-range hydrocarbons while improving overall process efficiency. By refining these approaches, FTS can be further optimized to support the transition toward cleaner and more sustainable aviation fuels.
期刊介绍:
Catalysis Today focuses on the rapid publication of original invited papers devoted to currently important topics in catalysis and related subjects. The journal only publishes special issues (Proposing a Catalysis Today Special Issue), each of which is supervised by Guest Editors who recruit individual papers and oversee the peer review process. Catalysis Today offers researchers in the field of catalysis in-depth overviews of topical issues.
Both fundamental and applied aspects of catalysis are covered. Subjects such as catalysis of immobilized organometallic and biocatalytic systems are welcome. Subjects related to catalysis such as experimental techniques, adsorption, process technology, synthesis, in situ characterization, computational, theoretical modeling, imaging and others are included if there is a clear relationship to catalysis.
