ZEOLITE SUPPORTED Ru–Pt CATALYSTS FOR SELECTIVE FISCHER-TROPSCH SYNTHESIS

Abstract
Ruthenium–platinum bimetallic catalysts, prepared by simultaneous ion-exchange on zeolite HY, selectively produced from synthesis gas branched-chain paraffins in the C4–C10 range, Exception to this was found for a catalyst with 4% Ru and 2% Pt by weight, which was highly active in exclusive formation of CH4.
