An attempt made for the selective production of C28211;C4 olefins directly from the synthesis gas (CO + H2) has led to the development of a dual catalyst system having a Fischer8211;Tropsch (K/Fe8211;Cu/AlOx) catalyst and cracking (H-ZSM-5) catalyst operate in consecutive dual reactors. The flow rate (space velocity) and H2/CO molar ratio of the feed have been optimized for achieving higher CO conversions and olefin selectivities. The selectivity to C28211;C4 olefins is further enhanced by optimizing the reaction temperature in the second reactor (cracking), where the product exhibited 51%selectivity to C28211;C4 hydrocarbons rich in olefins (77%) with a stable time-on-stream performance in a studied period of 100 h.
