Study on lumped kinetics model for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis over an industrial Fe-Mn catalyst

A set of lumped kinetics models were developed from two kinds of F-T reaction mechanisms inspired on the basis of study on quantum chemistry in reference. The experimental data were measured in a continuous stirred tank reactor with an industrial FeMn catalyst. It is concluded that the optimized model in analogy with the one in reference was derived from the mechanism of hydrogen assisted dissociation of CO through its oxygenate intermediate.
