Which from following is used as catalyst in Fisher Tropsch process for the synthesis of gasoline?
Options
- AFe - Cr
- BCo-Th
- CMo
- DNi
Correct answer
B. Co-Th
Step-by-step solution
Fischer-Tropsch catalysts convert carbon monoxide and hydrogen into liquid hydrocarbons like gasoline. Among the options, Co-Th (cobalt-thorium) is the established catalyst system for gasoline synthesis, while others serve different functions: Fe - Cr for water-gas shift, Mo for other reactions, and Ni primarily for methanation.
