Supported Iron Nanoparticles as catalysts for Sustainable Production of Lower Olefins

The production of commodities for the petrochemical industry from sustainable sources is of major and ever-increasing interest. Among the many catalytic processes proposed, the Fischer¿ Tropsch (FT) synthesis, developed originally to produce fuels from coal or natural gas, and one of the few applied at industrial scale since the early 40s, is shaping up as one of the most interesting options.
