Abstract

Porous CoO/Mn2O3 Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) catalysts have been studied in CO hydrogenation. These CoO/Mn2O3 catalysts have been synthesized by incipient wetness impregnation method. These mesoporous catalysts have pore diameters of 2-25 nm and a surface area of 9.0 m2/g. The gas and liquid products have been analyzed by an online gas chromatograph. The solid products were characterized by gas chromatograph-mass spectroscopy. These microsize cobalt catalysts exhibit good activity with 72.1% CO conversion and they are very stable in a 48 h stream test at 280ºC. The selectivity to paraffins is above 95%. Few wax products were synthesized with a yield of less than 2%. The size effects of the cobalt catalysts have been studied by scanning electron microscopy.
