Cobalt catalysts for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis: The effect of support, precipitant and pH value

Co-based catalysts supported on ZnO, Al2O3 and ZrO2 as well as the ZrO2 derived from different precipitants and different pH values were prepared by co-precipitation method. And when the pH value is 13, the Co/ZrO2 catalyst prepared by NaOH precipitant displayed the highest catalytic activity among these catalysts.132
