Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis on Ruthenium Supported ETS-10 Titanium Silicate Catalysts
Titanium silicate ETS-10 was found to be a suitable metal catalyst support, having high surface area, high ion exchange capacity and no acidic functions. In this work, ETS-10 was used as a support in preparing ruthenium supported catalyst for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Ru/M-ETS-10 catalytic systems (M standing for Na or K) showed some important characteristics, as good metal dispersion and shape selectivity. Moreover, no side reactions due to acidic functions were evidenced; indeed readsorption of olefins on active metal centers was found to control the activity of the catalysts.
