Silica aerogel supported catalysts for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis
چکیده انگلیسی
Cobalt catalysts supported on silica aerogel have been prepared using sol-gel chemistry followed by drying under supercritical ethanol conditions. Three different loadings of cobalt were synthesized: 2, 6, and 10% by weight. Transmission electron micrographs indicate that the metallic cobalt exists as discrete particles 50-70 nm in diameter for the 2 and 6% loadings. The 10% catalyst shows long needles of cobalt. BET and BJH measurements indicate that the catalysts retain the silica aerogel properties of high surface area (∼800 m2/g), large pore volume (∼5 cm3/g), and an average pore diameter in the mesoporous regime (∼25 nm). The catalysts were evaluated for Fischer-Tropsch activity in a laboratory-scale packed bed reactor. All three catalysts were active with the 10% Co catalyst achieving more than 20% CO conversion which corresponds to a rate of 1.53 g CO per g-cat per hour. The catalysts were selective for the C10+ hydrocarbons with more than 50% of the carbon contained within this fraction. A significant portion of the C9-C15 hydrocarbon product was observed as 1-olefins which reflects the enhanced mass transport within the very porous aerogel support.
