How do catalysts work in the Fischer-Tropsch Process?
Catalysts play a crucial role in the Fischer-Tropsch Process by facilitating the conversion of syngas into hydrocarbons. The catalyst surface provides active sites where the CO and H2 molecules adsorb, dissociate, and recombine to form longer carbon chains. The effectiveness of the catalyst depends on its composition, surface area, and the presence of promoters or inhibitors.
