High-throughput XRD and TGA are used to screen hundreds of candidate Fischer–Tropsch synthesis catalyst samples per month for particle size, reducibility and stability under operating conditions. A series of highly stable catalysts based on Co-Ru-Mg-Al2O3 are identified.

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.

Methods for the formation of stable iron-containing suspensions that exhibit activity in the conversion of synthesis gas to C5+ hydrocarbons by the Fischer-Tropsch method are proposed. By XRD and DLS methods it was determined that the formation of the Fe2O3 phase with a bimodal particle size distribution of 50 and 295 nm results in the formation of a suspension by the drop thermolysis method − the gradual introduction of the active metal precursor solution into the dispersion medium (mixture of hydrocarbons C19H40-C32H66). Pulsed introduction of the active metal precursor solution (flash-pyrolysis) into the reactor zone leads to the formation of the Fe3O4 phase with a particle size of 91 and 460 nm. By TEM and AFM methods it was established that, regardless of the slurry forming method, large active phase particles are agglomerates of a finer fraction of particles with an average size of 42 nm. The obtained suspensions demonstrated high activity in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis under the slurry-reactor conditions, however, the degree of CO conversion is slightly higher in the case of the catalytic suspension prepared by the drop thermolysis method. It is shown that the method of forming the suspension significantly affects the fractional composition of the resulting reaction products. In the presence of a suspension obtained by drop thermolysis, the yield of liquid hydrocarbons reaches 130 g/m3, while a high content of C19+ hydrocarbons is observed. The system formed by the method of flash-pyrolysis makes it possible to obtain mainly the gasoline (C5-C10) and diesel (C11-C18) hydrocarbon fractions. It should be noted that the products of the reaction have a high content of unsaturated hydrocarbons, which reaches 55%. Thus, the composition of the final products of FTS can be controlled by the choice of the catalytic suspension prepared method.
