Co–Fe–Al catalysts prepared using coprecipitation at laboratory scale were investigated and extended to pilot scale for high-calorific synthetic natural gas. The Co–Fe–Al catalysts with different metal loadings were analyzed using BET, XRD, H2-TPR, and FT-IR. An increase in the metal loading of the Co–Fe–Al catalysts showed low spinel phase ratio, leading to an improvement in reducibility. Among the catalysts, 40CFAl catalyst prepared at laboratory scale afforded the highest C2–C4 hydrocarbon time yield, and this catalyst was successfully reproduced at the pilot scale. The pelletized catalyst prepared at pilot scale showed high CO conversion (87.6%), high light hydrocarbon selectivity (CH4 59.3% and C2–C4 18.8%), and low byproduct amounts (C5+: 4.1% and CO2: 17.8%) under optimum conditions (space velocity: 4000 mL/g/h, 350 °C, and 20 bar).

A series of Co/TiO2 catalysts was tested in a parameters field study for Fischer‒Tropsch synthesis (FTS). All catalysts were prepared by the conventional impregnation technique to obtain an industrially relevant Co content of 10 wt % or 20 wt %, respectively. In summary, 10 different TiO2 of pure anatase phase, pure rutile phase, as well as mixed rutile and anatase phase were used as supports. Performance tests were conducted with a 32-fold high-throughput setup for accelerated catalyst benchmarking; thus, 48 experiments were completed within five weeks in a relevant operation parameters field (170 °C to 233.5 °C, H2/CO ratio 1 to 2.5, and 20 bar(g)). The most promising catalyst showed a CH4 selectivity of 5.3% at a relevant CO conversion of 60% and a C5+ productivity of 2.1 gC5+/(gCo h) at 207.5 °C. These TiO2-based materials were clearly differentiated with respect to the application as supports in Co-catalyzed FTS catalysis. The most prospective candidates are available for further FTS optimization at a commercial scale.

An environmentally friendly method was proposed to prepare mesoporous Mobil Composition of Matter No.48 (MCM-48) using fly ash as the silica source. Silver nanoparticles were infiltrated on MCM-48 facilely by an in situ post-reduction method and evaluated as an effective catalyst for CO oxidation. The as-prepared MCM-48 and Ag/MCM-48 nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption/desorption, and TEM. Investigations by means of XPS for Ag/MCM-48 were performed in order to illuminate the surface composition of the samples. Studies revealed the strong influence of the loading of Ag nanoparticles on catalysts in the oxidation of CO. CO conversion values for Ag/MCM-48 of 10% and 100% were achieved at temperatures of 220 °C and 270 °C, respectively, indicating that the Ag-decorated MCM-48 catalyst is extremely active for CO oxidation.

The present work explores the technical feasibility of passivating a Co/γ-Al2O3 catalyst by atomic layer deposition (ALD) to reduce deactivation rate during Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS). Three samples of the reference catalyst were passivated using different numbers of ALD cycles (3, 6 and 10). Characterization results revealed that a shell of the passivating agent (Al2O3) grew around catalyst particles. This shell did not affect the properties of passivated samples below 10 cycles, in which catalyst reduction was hindered. Catalytic tests at 50% CO conversion evidenced that 3 and 6 ALD cycles increased catalyst stability without significantly affecting the catalytic performance, whereas 10 cycles caused blockage of the active phase that led to a strong decrease of catalytic activity. Catalyst deactivation modelling and tests at 60% CO conversion served to conclude that 3 to 6 ALD cycles reduced Co/γ-Al2O3 deactivation, so that the technical feasibility of this technique was proven in FTS.

Synthesis of nanoCu/ZnO catalyst for LPG production was prepared by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP). Hollow spherical particles were obtained by USP technique using an aqueous solution of Cu (NO3)3.6H2O and Zn (NO3)3.3H2O with different concentration of 0.05, 0.1 and 0.5 molar under the pyrolysis temperatures of 600, 700 and 800°C. Mists of the solution were generated from the precursor solution by ultra sonic vibrators at frequency of ~1.7 MHz. The physicochemical properties of catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, temperature-programmed reduction, scanning electron microscope, nitrogen adsorption-desorption, and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer. The results showed that increasing in precursor concentration resulted in a large particle and particles size distributed in a range of 0.63-1.21 μm. Particles prepared at pyrolysis temperature 700°C exhibited homogeneous in size and shape compared to other temperature. The catalytic activity of nanoCu/ZnO-Pd-β catalysts was performed in a fixed-bed reactor for synthesizing LPG. The reaction took place at 260°C, 3.0 MPa, and the ratio of H2/CO = 2/1. All the products from the reactor were in gaseous state, and analyzed by on-line gas chromatography. The results showed that %CO conversion was high but decreased rapidly with increasing reaction time. Cu/ZnO catalyst prepared by co-precipitation gave higher %CO conversion than that prepared by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis. Moreover, hydrocarbon product distribution for Cu/ZnO catalyst produced at concentration 0.1 M 700°C by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis gave the highest LPG selectivity.
