Zeolite-Modified Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis by Shah, Rashed

“…The improvement of the gasoline selectivity and quality with the addition of HZSM-5 to the Fe-FT process is evident from literature. The catalytic performance of the combined Fe-FT/HZSM-5 system has been observed to decline with time-on-stream, attributed to the migration of alkali from the Fe-FT catalyst tothe HZSM-5 zeolite. …”

Resource intensity trends of ferrochrome production in South Africa by Dlamini, Reuben Mkhuleko

“…Electricity intensity was also observed to decrease over time due to improvements in process energy integration. The increased application of closed furnaces allows the use of flue gas from smelting for combustion to generate electricity and heat transfer of the hot gas to be used to heat up other process streams. …”
