Opis

A compilation of articles from expert contributors, this volume focuses on three main themes: catalyst preparation and activation, reaction mechanism, and process-related topics. The book demonstrates that while the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) has advanced in maturity, many issues remain concerning the preparation of increasingly active cata
