The study presented here compares catalyst activity and selectivity of a benchmark Fe/Cu/K/SiO₂ formulation with Fe/Mn/Cu/K/SiO₂ using a CSTR at industrially relevant FT conditions (i.e., pressure, temperature, H₂:CO=0.77) for periods in excess of 100 hours. This work compares results from previous low-pressure studies which show significant improvements with Mn-promotion.
