Cobalt catalysts for the liquid phase synthesis of light olefins from CO and H2
Abstract
Methane and a C2–C6 cut containing up to 75% olefins are synthesized from CO and H2 at 199 °C and under atmospheric pressure with a catalyst prepared by the reduction of cobalt(II) acetylacetonate with triethylaluminium with an alkylterphenyl solvent.
