The high AFTS activity and C5+ selectivity of the serial Ru/TiO2 nanocatalysts were favoured by the increasing metallic Ru sites due to H2 reduction pretreatment and weak metal–support interaction.

The increased C2–C4selectivity on the Co/AlSBA-15 was mainly attributed to the formation of small cobalt particles with a stronger metal–support interaction on the outer surface acid sites of the AlSBA-15 due to a higher hydrophilicity of the Al-incorporated SBA-15.

AbstractIn this study the effect of (0.1 %Ru, 0–10 % Zr) and (0.1 %Ru, 0–10 % Ce) promoters on dispersion, strong metal-support interaction and reduction behavior of cobalt-supported alumina catalyst in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis was investigated. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by BET, XRD, ICP, TPR, XPS, and TEM techniques. The results show that addition of Ce to the catalyst leads to the shift of the TPR peaks to lower temperatures which expected that shows higher activity due to higher reducibility, but surprisingly due to SMSI effect results in the lower catalyst activity compared with the unpromoted catalyst. Also, there was a synergistic effect between Ce and Ru in the reduction behavior of Ru-Ce promoted catalyst. The other notable finding of this study was the improvement in the catalyst reducibility in the presence of Zr compared with the unpromoted one that equivalently means the higher catalyst activity. Comparison of the Zr-promoted with the Ce-promoted catalysts show that the former have higher catalyst activity than the latter due to higher acidity and SMSI effect in the presence of the Zr promoter. The C5selectivity of the 0.1Ru10Zr/15Co and 3Ce/15Co catalysts at low pressure have shown more than 50 % improvement compared to the unpromoted one. Based on the activity at atmospheric pressure; the unpromoted, 0.1Ru/15Co, 0.1Ru3Ce/15Co and 0.1Ru10Zr/15Co catalysts were selected for high pressure condition tests, in which the 0.1Ru10Zr/15Co catalyst shows the highest catalyst activity and heavier hydrocarbon selectivity.

The ratio between propene and propane (C3 o/p) during Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) has been analyzed based on both literature reports and experiments for five catalysts. The latter comprise four cobalt catalysts on γ-alumina with variations in pore sizes, and one catalyst on α-alumina. Overall variations include H2/CO feed ratio, residence time, water addition, transients between test conditions, CO conversion, cobalt particle size, promoter (Re), and support material. It was possible to rationalize all data based on secondary hydrogenation of olefins. In fact, it was deduced that olefins are dominating termination products in FTS, estimated to ca. 90% for C3, but that some paraffins most likely are also produced directly. Increased residence time and high H2/CO feed ratio favors olefin hydrogenation, while added water presumably displaces hydrogen on cobalt giving enhanced C3 o/p. High cobalt dispersion favors hydrogenation, as also promoted by Re. Effect of intraparticle diffusion is seen in transient periods; for example, as water is added or depleted. There is frequently positive correlation between C3 o/p and selectivity to longer chains; the latter expressed as C5+ selectivity, as both are sensitive to hydrogen activity. Some modifications, however, are needed due to the accepted volcano plot for C5+ selectivity with cobalt crystallite size. Titania as support shows unexpectedly low C3 o/p; probably due to SMSI (strong-metal-support-interaction).

AbstractWe review scientific works carried out on the influence of surface hydrophobicity on activity and product selectivity of supported cobalt and iron catalysts during Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS). The characteristics of the surface of catalyst support may influence metal-support interactions, which leads to various degrees of metal dispersion and reducibility. Also, these support surface properties may influence the mass transfer of reactants and products at the catalyst active sites and subsequently affects the performance of the catalyst during FTS. Pre-silylated and post-silylated catalysts have been used to study the influence of surface hydrophobicity on the performance of FTS catalysts. The enhancement of FTS activity by hydrophobicity was mainly ascribed to the improved reducibility of metal oxide species. Furthermore, post-silylated supported iron catalysts favoured the suppression of water-gas shift (WGS) reaction, thereby hindering CO2 formation.
