Journal ArticleDOI
Fischer–Tropsch synthesis: support, loading, and promoter effects on the reducibility of cobalt catalysts
TL;DR: In this paper, different supports (e.g. Al2O3, TiO2, SiO2 and ZrO2 modified SiO 2 or Al2 O3) and a variety of promoters, including noble metals and metal cations, were examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fischer-tropsch synthesis: deactivation of noble metal promoted co/al2o3 catalysts
TL;DR: In this article, fresh and used, unpromoted and noble metal-promoted 15% Co/Al 2 O 3 catalysts were analyzed by XANES and EXAFS to provide insight into catalyst deactivation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fischer-tropsch synthesis: characterization and catalytic properties of rhenium promoted cobalt alumina catalysts
TL;DR: The unpromoted and promoted Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) catalysts were characterized using techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature programmed reduction (TPR), XAS, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area (BET SA), hydrogen chemisorption and catalytic activity using a continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fischer–Tropsch synthesis: study of the promotion of Re on the reduction property of Co/Al2O3 catalysts by in situ EXAFS/XANES of Co K and Re LIII edges and XPS
TL;DR: In situ extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) at the LIII edge of Re has been used to show that there is direct contact of Re with cobalt atoms, while evidence for ReRe bonds is not observed as discussed by the authors.
