The effect of activating Co/Al2O3 catalyst by diluted CO or H2 on catalyst performance for Fischer-Tropsch reaction was investigated. The catalyst was prepared by incipient wetness impregnation of the support and characterized using BET N2 physisorption, SEM, and XRD analyses. The reduction behavior of the catalyst in presence of CO and H2 individually was evaluated using TPR analyses. The data reveal that CO activates Co/Al2O3 catalyst at a lower temperature than H2 and produces a catalyst with higher rate for liquid product formation. It also leads to higher methane selectivity probably due to some cobalt carbide formation. Copyright © 2019 BCREC Group.

The present work explores the technical feasibility of passivating a Co/γ-Al2O3 catalyst by atomic layer deposition (ALD) to reduce deactivation rate during Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS). Three samples of the reference catalyst were passivated using different numbers of ALD cycles (3, 6 and 10). Characterization results revealed that a shell of the passivating agent (Al2O3) grew around catalyst particles. This shell did not affect the properties of passivated samples below 10 cycles, in which catalyst reduction was hindered. Catalytic tests at 50% CO conversion evidenced that 3 and 6 ALD cycles increased catalyst stability without significantly affecting the catalytic performance, whereas 10 cycles caused blockage of the active phase that led to a strong decrease of catalytic activity. Catalyst deactivation modelling and tests at 60% CO conversion served to conclude that 3 to 6 ALD cycles reduced Co/γ-Al2O3 deactivation, so that the technical feasibility of this technique was proven in FTS.
