A comprehensive small and pilot-scale fixed-bed reactor approach for testing Fischer–Tropsch catalyst activity and performance on a BTL route
Ruthenium (Ru)-based catalysts were prepared by the sol–gel technique for biomass-to-liquid (BTL) operation and had their performance tested under different conditions. The catalytic study was carried out in two steps using a simple and reliable method. In the first step, the effects of reaction tem...
