✦ Synopsis

For synthesis gas conversion to hydrocarbons, Fischer-Tropsch reaction is an important technical reaction. The studies are focused on improving catalysts and here, Indian iron ores were used and their activities were compared with that of the conventional precipitated iron catalyst. The activity of the catalysts, particularly magnetite ore based, are comparable to that of the precipitated catalyst obtained from ferric nitrate salt.
