Unsupported Fe/Cu/K/SiO2 FT catalysts were prepared by a novel dry mixing method (much faster) based on the proprietary work of Cosmos, Inc. This work focuses on the effects of a CNT support on the FTS activity, selectivity and stability of Fe/Cu/K; results will be compared with those unsupported Fe catalysts.
