Determination of Kinetic Parameters of Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis in the Presence of a Granular Cobalt Catalyst

Some kinetic parameters of Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) were determined in the presence a granular cobalt/zeolite catalyst. Usually, studies catalysts are considered to be complicated by external and internal diffusion. We managed obtain catalyst with special structure active surface, where sites FTS isolated from each other due environment inactive spinel CoAl2O4 inter-site transport is provided an extensive intragranular graphitic network serving simultaneously as heat-conductive medium. As result, proceeded region. It was found that reaction kinetics obey Arrhenius law; whereas, activation energy different temperature ranges, i.e., 118.2 kJ/mol range 180–210 °C, 173.6 232–243 °C. This behavior zeolite, which becomes secondary transformations products at temperatures beyond 210
