Fischer–Tropsch synthesis over Pd promoted cobalt based mesoporous supported catalyst

The present study focuses on the catalytic conversion of syngas (CO + H 2 ) through Fischer–Tropsch (FT) route using two identically prepared 0.1 wt.% palladium promoted Mesoporous Alumina (MA) and SBA–15 supported Co (15 wt.%) catalysts. activity is performed in a fixed bed tubular reactor at temperature 220 °C pressure 30 bar with /CO ratio ~2 having Gas Hourly Space Velocity (GHSV) 500 h −1 . Detail characterizations catalysts are carried out different analytical techniques like N adsorption-desorption, Temperature-programmed reduction hydrogen (H -TPR), desorption NH 3 (NH -TPD), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). results show that catalyst exhibits higher C 6 –C 12 selectivity (57.5%), MA facilitates formation hydrocarbons (C 13 20 46.7%. This attributes use both support materials for production liquid FT synthesis.
