Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) with cobalt-based catalyst has been developed to produce wax as a feedstock for further catalytic cracking. During catalyst preparation, NH4OH was added to the salt nitrate precursor to investigate the influence on catalyst acidity. Catalysts were prepared by the dry impregnation method and characterized by XRD, BET and NH3-TPD analyses. These properties were correlated with activity and selectivity of the catalyst. Activity tests showed CO and H2 conversion were in the range of 36.4% to 80.3% and 34.2% to 74.1% respectively. The cobalt particle size measurements exhibited 7.6-8.5 nm. The presence of weak acid sites on catalyst with large surface area and pore size is mainly responsible for obtaining high yields of C5+ hydrocarbon due to suppression of cracking properties. The product distribution showed a higher selectivity to C5+ in the range of 53.57% to 96.5%. In this study, FTS was evaluated by using fixed-bed reactor at 20 bar, 250 C, and WHSV of 1500 ml/g.cat/h-1.

The effects of process conditions on Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) product distributions were studied using a fixed-bed microreactor and a Co–Mn/CNT catalyst. Cobalt and Manganese, supported on Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) catalyst were prepared by a Strong Electrostatic Adsorption (SEA) method. CNT supports were initially acid and thermally treated in order to functionalize support to uptake more Co clusters. Catalyst samples were characterized by Transmitted Electron Microscope (TEM), particle size analyzer, and Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA). TEM images showed catalyst metal particle intake on CNT support with different Co and Mn loading percentage. Performance test of Co–Mn/CNT in Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) was carried out in a fixed-bed micro-reactor at different pressures (from 1 atm to 25 atm), H2/CO ratio (0.5–2.5), and reduction temperature and duration. The reactor was connected to the online Gas Chromatograph (GC) for product analysis. It was found that the reaction conditions have the dominant effect on product selectivity. Cobalt catalyst supported on acid and thermal pre-treated CNT at optimum reaction condition resulted in CO conversion of 58.7% and C5+ selectivity of 59.1%.
