Effects of SiO2/Al2O3 Ratio in ZSM-5 Zeolite on the Activity and Selectivity of a Bifunctional Cobalt Catalyst for Synthesis of Low-Pour-Point Diesel Fuels from CO and H2

Abstract This study investigates the production of diesel fuels by integrated Fischer–Tropsch synthesis over a bifunctional cobalt catalyst consisting component (Co–Al 2 O 3 /SiO ) and zeolite-containing (ZSM-5). The catalytic properties were tested in continuous-flow reactor with stationary bed at 240–250°C, MPa, gas WHSV 1000 h –1 . effects SiO /Al ratio HZSM-5 zeolite on performance, deactivation rate, hydrocarbon fractional compositions synthetic product identified. low-temperature synthesized fuel satisfy current requirements for winter fuels.
