The role of zeolite in the Fischer–Tropsch synthesis over cobalt-zeolite catalysts

The review deals with the specifics of the Fischer–Tropsch synthesis for the one-stage syncrude production from $\mathrm{CO}$ and $\mathrm H_2$ in the presence of cobalt-zeolite catalytic systems. Different types of bifunctional catalysts (hybrid, composite) combining a Fischer–Tropsch catalyst and zeolite are reviewed. Special attention focuses on the mechanisms of transformations of hydrocarbons produced in the Fischer–Tropsch process on zeolite acid sites under the synthesis conditions.
