I would like to buy commercial catalysts to use in a Fischer Tropsch reaction but haven't had any good luck. Does anyone know of commercial suppliers of catalysts for this reaction?
Thanks
I suggest finding a relevant catalyst bought from Merck or Sigma-Aldrich supplier. I think they could provide the catalyst for the Fischer Tropsch reaction. I hope it helps.

Dear Wan Ryan Asri
I have tried to find in Merck or Sigma-Aldrich without good results. Thank you for your help
Dear Francisco Manuel Marquez INFRA is the best option, however, I believe that it impossible to buy products from Russia at the moment.
Thank you so much for your help
Dear Aroldo Jose
I have two lines of thought.
(1) Similar to Wan Ryan Asri, look at lab scale chemical suppliers but specifically Alfa Aesar. This is now part of Thermo Scientific Fisher but was owned by Johnson Matthey. It has various fuel cell and precious metal heterogeneous catalysts listed but does not specify applications. If you know the approximate formulation you want, Alfa may have something! (see https://www.alfa.com/en/catalysts/ )
(2) As you work for a catalyst research institute, you could approach the suppliers of commercial FT catalysts to request a sample for research purposes. These companies include Johnson Matthey, Shell/Criterion, Sasol and others. I may have a bit more info' on potential companies on file if you want me to find this.

Dear Aroldo José Romero-Anaya many thanks for posting this interesting technical question on RG. I'm not a proven specialist in heterogeneous catalysis, and I'm not going to name yet another commercial supplier. According to the rather instructive Wikipedia entry at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fischer–Tropsch_process the Fischer-Tropsch reaction is best catalyzed by molybdenum carbide as well as by cobalt-, iron- and ruthenium-based catalysts. My suggestion would be to first decide which metal(s) you want to employ (after reading one or two reslevant review articles) and than search for commercial suppliers of the indvidual catalysts.
Good luck with your work!
Dear Aroldo,
Check this company: https://grupaazoty.com/en/ or this one https://pol-aura.pl/ceriumiv-oxide-nanopowder-1306-38-3-p-26306.html :)
Thank you very much to all colleagues for sharing your valuable information!!!
Finding a specific material for a given application has not been easy
Bests regards
Aroldo
Hi Aroldo,
You may make an inquiry at Alfa Chemistry, they offer kinds of good-quality catalysts.
