Nanosized cobalt-based catalyst prepared by supercritical phase condition for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis

摘要

A series of nanosized Co/Zn/Mn/K composite catalysts for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis(FTS) were prepared by supercritical fluid drying(SCFD) method and common drying(CD) method.The nanosized cobalt-based catalysts were characterized by XRD,TEM and BET techniques.Their catalytic performances were tested in a slurry-bed reactor under FTS reaction conditions.The drying and crystallization were carried out simultaneously during SCFD,therefore,the catalysts prepared by SCFD method have ideal structure and show the FTS performance superior to the others prepared by CD method.The FTS activity and selectivity were improved via adding Zn,Mn and K promoters,and less CH4 and CO2 as well as higher yield of C5+ products were achieved.The optimal performance of a 92% CO conversion and a 65% C5+ product yield was obtained over a catalyst with the component of Co/Zn/Mn/K = 100/50/10/7.Furthermore,the catalytic performance was studied under the conditions of liquid-phase and supercritical phase slurry-bed,and C5+ product yield were 57.4% and 65.4%,respectively.In summary,better catalytic performance was obtained using the nanosized catalyst prepared by SCFD method under supercritical reaction conditions,resulting in higher conversion of CO,less CO2 byproduct,and higher yield of C5+ products.
