The Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) process is likely to become increasingly important as an alternative technology for fuel production.\u00a0It converts synthesis gas, a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, into useful hydrocarbons (like diesel or kerosene); one of the more viable and sustainable routes to replace gasoline or diesel fuel produced in oil refining and results in ultra-clean fuels. It is already used by a few petrochemical companies, but very few studies regarding the preparation and evolution of catalytically active species on a real \u2018structured\u2019 catalyst exist; this information is key for understanding the reasons behind variable catalyst performance.<\/p>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-13q4p-166ea19ed421f45d5c00be92a55414fa-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-0  el_before_av_hr  avia-builder-el-first'><a href='https:\/\/www.finden.co.uk\/zh\/case-study\/'  class='avia-button av-13q4p-166ea19ed421f45d5c00be92a55414fa av-link-btn avia-icon_select-yes-left-icon avia-size-small avia-position-left avia-color-theme-color'   aria-label=\"Read more\"><span class='avia_button_icon avia_button_icon_left avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello' data-av_icon='\ue822' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' ><\/span><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Read more<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-34qi2g-afc80e213b7868fe7ceb804661023d71\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-34qi2g-afc80e213b7868fe7ceb804661023d71{\nheight:10px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-34qi2g-afc80e213b7868fe7ceb804661023d71 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-1  el_after_av_button  el_before_av_button'><span class='hr-inner'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finden.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Oxygentransportmembrane.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-530 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.finden.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Oxygentransportmembrane.png\" alt=\"Membrane reactor diagram\" width=\"322\" height=\"277\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finden.co.uk\/zh\/sustainable-ethylene-production-rev\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Catalytic membrane reactor technology for sustainable ethylene production<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ethylene is a key building block of the chemical industry and is used in the production of many products including plastics.

Both the breadth and depth of our understanding of catalysts and catalytic processes has clearly progressed a lot since then \u2013 to a large extent this has been enabled by catalyst characterisation, performed increasingly in real time as the catalyst performs its function. Despite these developments, designing a catalyst\/catalytic process from scratch is still incredibly difficult. Fortunately, characterisation methods, particularly those using bright light sources (i.e. X-rays, Lasers etc.) and ways in which catalysts &amp; catalytic process can be interrogated are constantly evolving. In this webinar Prof. Andrew Beale discussed some recent exciting studies performed by his group and others and explained how the wider catalysis community can engage with and benefit from such developments. He concluded with an overview of some of the planned technical developments on the horizon and suggested where there might be future possibilities for researchers on the quest to unravel the secrets behind what makes a catalyst work?<\/p>\n<p>The webinar featured a presentation from Prof. Andrew Beale of 40 minutes, followed by a Q &amp; A session.
