Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS), which converts CO and H2 into useful hydrocarbon products, has attracted considerable attention as an efficient method to replace crude oil resources. Fe-based catalysts are mainly used in industrial FTS, and Fe7C3 is a common carbide phase in the FTS reaction. However, the intrinsic catalytic properties of Fe7C3 are theoretically unknown. Therefore, as a first attempt to understand the FTS reaction on Fe7C3, direct CO* dissociation on orthorhombic Fe7C3(001) (o-Fe7C3(001)) surfaces was studied using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The surface energies of 14 terminations of o-Fe7C3(001) were first compared, and the results showed that (001)0.20 was the most thermodynamically stable termination. Furthermore, to understand the effect of the surface C atom coverage on CO* activation, C–O bond dissociation was performed on the o-Fe7C3(001)0.85, (001)0.13, (001)0.20, (001)0.09, and (001)0.99 surfaces, where the surface C atom coverages were 0.00, 0.17, 0.33, 0.33, and 0.60, respectively. The results showed that the CO* activation linearly decreased as the surface C atom coverage increased. Therefore, it can be concluded that the thermodynamic and kinetic selectivity toward direct CO* dissociation increased when the o-Fe7C3(001) surface had more C* vacancies.

<p>This study investigated lump kinetic analysis of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis over Cobalt and Cobalt-Rhenium Alumina supported catalyst (Co/γ-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> and Co-Re/γ-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>) at 20 bars and 483 K using feed gas with molar H<sub>2</sub>/CO ratios of 1.0 to 2.1. Syngas with H<sub>2</sub>/CO molar ratio of 1.0 represents syngas characteristic derived from biomass, while the 2.1 molar ratio syngas derived from coal. Rhenium was used as the promoter for the cobalt catalyst. Isothermal Langmuir adsorption mechanism was used to build kinetic model. Existing kinetic model of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis over cobalt alumina supported catalysts only valid for operating pressure less than 10 bar. CO insertion mechanism with hydrogenation step of catalyst-adsorbed CO by catalyst-adsorbed H component as the rate-limiting step is valid for operating condition in this research. Higher H<sub>2</sub>/CO ratio makes faster hydrogenation step and less-product dominated in the associative CO adsorption step and dissociative H<sub>2</sub> adsorption equilibrium step. Kinetic constant for hydrogenation step increases 73-421% in syngas with 2.1 H<sub>2</sub>/CO molar ratio compared to condition with 1.0 H<sub>2</sub>/CO molar ratio. Faster hydrogenation step (with higher kinetic constant) results in higher reactant conversion. Equilibrium constant for associative CO adsorption and dissociative H<sub>2</sub> adsorption step decreases 53-94% and 13-82%, respectively, in syngas with higher H<sub>2</sub>/CO molar ratio. Less product dominated reactant adsorption step (lower equilibrium constant for CO and H<sub>2</sub> adsorption step) gives higher CH<sub>4</sub> product selectivity, which occurred on 2.1 molar ratio of syngas. Rhenium (Re) metal on cobalt catalyst with composition 0.05%Re-12%Co/γ-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> only gives effect as structural promoter, which only increases reactant conversion with the same product selectivity.

With cobalt-based catalyst loaded by Al2O3, TiO2 and ZrO2 as research objectives, in this paper, the performance of these cobalt-based catalysts in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is discussed. Besides, BET, XRD, FTIR, TPR superficial characteristics and evaluation experiments have been carried out for these catalysts respectively, and the result shows that, the catalyst loaded by ZrO2 has the highest catalytic activity, while the catalyst loaded by Al2O3 has the lowest catalytic activity. The catalyst with higher CO adsorption and dissolving capacity has higher activity; meanwhile, the higher reducibility the catalyst has, the higher the activity of the catalyst will be. In addition, catalyst methane selectivity loaded by Al2O3 is the highest, while catalyst methane selectivity loaded by TiO2 is the lowest, which shows that the large pore structure of catalyst is good for heavy hydrocarbon production, meanwhile, formate species generated on the surface of catalyst implies that the formate species is involved in the generation of methane.
