Novel Utilization of Zeolited Fly Ash Hosting Cobalt Nanoparticles as a Catalyst Applied to the Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis

摘要

In order to produce an inexpensive catalyst for the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis(FTS),zeolitized high silicon fly ash utilized as a catalytic support for cobalt nanoparticles.The ability of this new support in proper hosting of nanoparticles studied through various characterization methods such as X-ray diffraction,nitrogen sorption,transmission electron microscopy,energgamma-dispersive spectroscopic and temperature-programmed reduction.In addition,the catalytic properties for the FTS evaluated at 523 K and 20 MPa.The obtained results show remarkable influence of utilized support specifications upon the formation and catalytic behavior of cobalt nanoparticles in the FTS.
