Iron-based catalyst is a common catalyst for the Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (FTS). The synthesis of fuel from natural gas via the FTS process is an attractive option for monetizing natural gas. Iron nanoparticles were synthesized by incipient wetness impregnation and precipitation methods. SiO2 was u...
