The conversion of carbon monoxide with hydrogen was studied on a standard Os on SiO2 catalyst at different reaction temperatures, in the range between 200 and 300 °C. Additionally, supported di- and triatomic organometallic Os complexes were tested for their activity in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis at 220 °C. All compounds showed formation of hydrocarbons, indicating that the organoosmium complexes are indeed active for C─C bond formation. Osmium as Fischer-Tropsch catalyst, however, is approximately 100 times less active compared to ruthenium. Very high methane selectivities (> 90 C-%) were obtained as well as high olefin to paraffin ratios, in particular with the organometallic complexes tested.

Different deactivation behaviors of the prototype Co/γ-Al2O3 (CoAl) and Co/SiO2 (CoSi) catalysts under an excess CO2 environment were investigated in terms of the surface oxidation and aggregation of cobalt crystallites for the Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) reaction.

Currently, the processes of obtaining synthetic liquid hydrocarbons and oxygenates are very relevant. Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) is the most important step in these processes. The products of thermal destruction in argon of the mixture [Co(NH3)6][Fe(CN)6] and Al(OH)3 were used as catalysts for CO hydrogenation. The resulting compositions were studied using powder X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, SEM micrographs. The specific surface area, pore and particle size distributions were determined. It was determined that the DCS-based catalysts were active in the high-temperature Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. The effect of aluminum in the catalyst composition on the distribution of reaction products was revealed.

In this experimental study, a kinetic model has been developed for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reactions by using Fe/Ce/Al2O3 as the catalyst (80% Fe/20% Ce/5wt%Al2O3) in a fixed-bed micro reactor assuming no internal or external diffusion. Operating conditions of the reactor are as follows: reactor total pressure 6-22 atm; Temperature 543-573 K; H2/CO feed ratio 1.5-2 and space velocity 4200 hr-1. Light alkenes were successfully produced due to high activity and selectivity of the catalyst. Considering the mechanism of the process and Langmuir-Hinshelwood- Hogan-Watson (LHHW) approach, four different mechanisms, namely carbide, enol, combined carbide-enol, and parallel carbide-enol were defined for CO consumption rate equations. The rate expressions for the CO hydrogenation reactions are based on elementary reaction corresponding to the carbid-enol mechanism. The obtained rate expressions for the CO hydrogenation reactions from nonlinear regression analysis and Levenberg-Marquardt method demonstrate that the formation of monomer species (HCOs) due to CO hydrogenation reaction has controlled the FTS reaction rate. The activation energy and adsorption enthalpy were calculated as 58.38 kJ/mol and -22.26 kJ/mol, respectively. Also, the effects of temperature and pressure variation on selectivity and production rate of light products are presented.

A study was done on the effect of temperature and catalyst pre-treatment on CO hydrogenation over plasma-synthesized catalysts during the Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS). Nanometric Co/C, Fe/C, and 50%Co-50%Fe/C catalysts with BET specific surface area of ~80 m2 g–1 were tested at a 2 MPa pressure and a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 2000 cm3 h−1 g−1 of a catalyst (at STP) in hydrogen-rich FTS feed gas (H2:CO = 2.2). After pre-treatment in both H2 and CO, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that the used catalysts shifted from a mono-modal particle-size distribution (mean ~11 nm) to a multi-modal distribution with a substantial increase in the smaller nanoparticles (~5 nm), which was statistically significant. Further characterization was conducted by scanning electron microscopy (SEM with EDX elemental mapping), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The average CO conversion at 500 K was 18% (Co/C), 17% (Fe/C), and 16% (Co-Fe/C); 46%, 37%, and 57% at 520 K; and 85%, 86% and 71% at 540 K respectively. The selectivity of Co/C for C5+ was ~98% with 8% gasoline, 61%, diesel and 28% wax (fractions) at 500 K; 22% gasoline, 50% diesel, and 19% wax at 520 K; and 24% gasoline, 34% diesel, and 11% wax at 540 K, besides CO2 and CH4 as by-products. Fe-containing catalysts manifested similar trends, with a poor conformity to the Anderson–Schulz–Flory (ASF) product distribution.

The cobalt-based FT catalysts, in which Co crystals supported on TiO2nanofibers, were prepared by convenient method. The structure of the catalysts was examined and cobalt-based catalysts using TiO2nanofibers as a support for the application of FT were investigated. Based on CO hydrogenation, the cobalt species dispersed on the TiO2nanofibers have higher selectivity and activity.
