Hydrocracking of Octacosane and Cobalt Fischer–Tropsch Wax over Nonsulfided NiMo and Pt-Based Catalysts
(9/30/2021)
The effect of activation environment (N2, H2 and H2S/H2) on the hydrocracking performance of a NiMo/Al catalyst was studied at 380 °C and 3.5 MPa using octacosane (C28). The catalyst physical structure and acidity were ...
Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis: The Characterization and Testing of Pt-Co/SiO2 Catalysts Prepared with Alternative Cobalt Precursors
(6/1/2021)
Different low-cost cobalt precursors (acetate, chloride) and thermal treatments (air calcination/H2 reduction versus direct H2-activation) were investigated to alter the interaction between cobalt and silica. H2-activated ...
Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis: Effect of the Promoter’s Ionic Charge and Valence Level Energy on Activity
(10/10/2021)
In this contribution, we examine the effect of the promoter´s ionic charge and valence orbital energy on the catalytic activity of Fe-based catalysts, based on in situ synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction (SXRPD), ...
Promoting the Selectivity of Pt/m-ZrO2 Ethanol Steam Reforming Catalysts with K and Rb Dopants
(8/29/2021)
The ethanol steam reforming reaction (ESR) was investigated on unpromoted and potassium- and rubidium-promoted monoclinic zirconia-supported platinum (Pt/m-ZrO2) catalysts. Evidence from in situ diffuse reflectance infrared ...
Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis: Cd, In and Sn Effects on a 15%Co/Al2O3 Catalyst
(10/16/2019)
The effects of 1% of Cd, In and Sn additives on the physicochemical properties and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) performance of a 15% Co/Al2O3 catalyst were investigated. The fresh and spent catalysts were characterized ...
Fischer–Tropsch: Product Selectivity–The Fingerprint of Synthetic Fuels
(3/14/2019)
The bulk of the products that were synthesized from Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) is a wide range (C1–C70) of hydrocarbons, primarily straight-chained paraffins. Additional hydrocarbon products, which can also be a ...
Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis: Computational Sensitivity Modeling for Series of Cobalt Catalysts
(10/15/2019)
Nearly a century ago, Fischer and Tropsch discovered a means of synthesizing organic compounds ranging from C1 to C70 by reacting carbon monoxide and hydrogen on a catalyst. Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) is now known as ...
Editorial: Cobalt and Iron Catalysis
(12/27/2019)
Cobalt and iron have long history of importance in the field of catalysis that continues to this day. Currently, both are prevalent metals in a multitude of catalytic processes: [...]
The Preparation and Characterization of Co–Ni Nanoparticles and the Testing of a Heterogenized Co–Ni/Alumina Catalyst for CO Hydrogenation
(12/21/2019)
Samples of well-controlled nanoparticles consisting of alloys of cobalt and nickel of different atomic ratios were synthesized using wet chemical methods with oleylamine as the solvent and the reducing agent. These materials ...
Substitution of Co with Ni in Co/Al2O3 Catalysts for Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis
(3/17/2020)
The effect of cobalt substitution with nickel was investigated for the Fischer–Tropsch synthesis reaction. Catalysts having different Ni/Co ratios were prepared by aqueous incipient wetness co-impregnation, characterized, ...
