Selective synthesis of alk-1-enes from CO/H2 catalysed by highly reduced zeolite-entrapped cobalt clusters
Abstract
Highly reduced zeolite-entrapped cobalt particles are prepared by simple impregnation of an alkali solution into a cobalt-exchanged zeolite followed by reduction with hydrogen gas at 450 °C; the catalyst exhibits high selectivity towards linear hydrocarbons, especially alk-1-enes, and strong resistance to deactivation in the Fischer–Tropsch reaction.
