In situXRD investigation of the evolution of alumina-supported cobaltcatalysts under realistic conditions of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis

Abstract

The structure–activity relations in the alumina-supported cobalt catalysts are studied at the realistic conditions of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis using in situ time-resolved XRD and catalytic measurements. Cobalt sintering during the first 3–5 h of the reaction and cobalt carbidisation at a longer time on stream (>8 h) coincide with catalyst deactivation.
