an extensive study of fischer-tropsch synthesis (fts) on alumina-supported cobalt catalysts with different amounts of cobalt is reported. up to 40 wt % of cobalt, is added to the catalysts by impregnation method. the effect of the cobalt loading on the reducibility of the cobalt oxide species, dispersion of the cobalt, average clusters size, water-gas shift (wgs) activity and activity and selec...

The silylation of SBA-15 enhances the reducibility of cobalt oxides on a SBA-15 supported cobalt catalyst, and consequently increases the catalytic activity for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis of hydrocarbons from syngas and selectivity for longer chain products.

Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC x GC) has been investigated for the characterization of high valuable petrochemical samples from dehydrogenation of n-paraffins, Fischer-Tropsch and oligomerization processes. GC x GC separations, performed using a dual-jets CO2 modulator, were optimized using a test mixture representative of the hydrocarbons found in petrochemicals. For comp...

High temperature Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process use fixed fluidized bed as a reactor. In order to understand the flow behavior in the fluidized bed better, the research of how the radial velocity affects the entire flow field is necessary. Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) was used to study the radial velocity distribution along the diameter direction of the cross-section of the particle in a ...

the kinetic of fischer-tropsch synthesis over a co-precipitated fe-ce catalyst was investigated in a fixed bed micro reactor. experimental conditions were varied as follow: reaction pressure 1-15bar, h¬¬¬2/co feed ratio of 1-3 and space velocity of 3600-5400 h-1 at the temperature range of 270-310°c. 4 models according to the langmuir-hinshelwood-hougen-watson (lhhw) type rate equation were der...

The addition of Ru to Mn and Zr-modified Co/SiO2 catalysts, while applying different preparation orders and loading amounts, was investigated as a means of enhancing the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction. The coimpregnation of Zr/SiO2 with Co, Mn and Ru gave the most attractive catalytic properties. This can be attributed to the higher dispersion of Co metal resulting from the coimpregnation o...

an extensive study of fischer-tropsch synthesis (fts) on alumina-supported cobalt catalysts promoted with different amounts of ruthenium and rhenium is reported. up to 2 wt% of promoters, are added to the catalyst by coimpregnation. the catalysts are characterized by different methods including: bet physisorption, x-ray diffraction, hydrogen chemisorption, and temperature-programmed reduction. ...
