“…only a couple of days. 7 Depending on reaction conditions, such as total pressure, H 2 /CO-ratio and temperature, a pore filling degree F significantly below 1 is observed. In case of internal mass transport limitations, the H 2 /COratio -and thus α -decreases towards the core of the catalyst particle (D H2,liq ≈ 2 D CO,liq ).…”

aIn the literature, it is widely claimed that during the initial period of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis liquid higher hydrocarbons fill catalyst pores completely, at least for temperatures of less than 250°C at a typical pressure of about 2 MPa. This leads to diffusional restrictions in the porous network for particles with a size for industrial fixed-bed operation (> 1 mm), whereby catalyst effectiveness and product selectivity are strongly affected. However, under industryally relevant reaction conditions, our experimental and theoretical investigations on the interplay of reaction and diffusion in cobalt catalyst particles reveal that the pores are only partly filled with liquid higher hydrocarbons even at a very long time on stream of months or more for a chain growth probability below about 0.8. Experiments were conducted in a magnetic suspension balance using particles of technical size (dp = 3 mm), and a mathematical model was developed describing quite accurately the formation, vaporization and accumulation of liquid products and their C-number distribution in the porous particle.

“…Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) is a commercial polymerization process used for conversion of hydrogen and carbon monoxide into a variety of sulfur and aromatics-free hydrocarbons having wide range of chain length and functionality [2]. Syngas, which is a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, can be prepared by the gasification of coal or biomass and steam reforming of methane [3,4].…”

This paper presents the effect of a synthesis method for cobalt catalyst supported on hydrotalcite material for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. The hydrotalcite supported cobalt (HT-Co) catalysts were synthesized by co-precipitation and hydrothermal method. The prepared catalysts were characterized by using various techniques like BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy), TGA (Thermal Gravimetric Analysis), XRD (X-ray diffraction spectroscopy), and FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy). Fixed bed micro reactor was used to test the catalytic activity of prepared catalysts. The catalytic testing results demonstrated the performance of hydrotalcite based cobalt catalyst in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis with high selectivity for liquid products. The effect of synthesis method on the activity and selectivity of catalyst was also discussed.
