The first experiments on catalytic hydrogenation of carbon monoxide were carried out at the
beginning of 20th century. In 1902, Sabatier and Senderens synthesized methane from a …

The Role of Catalysis for the Sustainable Production of Bio-fuels and Bio-chemicals
describes the importance of catalysis for the sustainable production of biofuels and …

Cobalt-based Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) catalysts are an integral part of the gas-to-
liquid (GTL) process. Due to the cost of both cobalt and noble metals, which are often used …

The structure of cobalt species at different stages of the genesis of monometallic and Pt-
promoted cobalt alumina-supported Fischer–Tropsch catalysts was studied using X-ray …

Gas-to-liquid (GTL) involves the chemical conversion of natural gas into synthetic crude that
can be upgraded and separated into different useful hydrocarbon fractions including liquid …

By using different catalyst pretreatments, silica supported cobalt catalysts were activated to
produce either hcp or fcc cobalt metal particles, as verified by XRD. H 2-TPR and pulse re …

An investigation has been carried out of the effects of Mn promotion on the activity and
product selectivity of Co/SiO2 for Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis (FTS). All experiments were …

The structures of metallic cobalt particles supported on silica (with and without Ru promoter)
and on alumina have been investigated in-situ by conventional and anomalous X-ray …

Colloidal semiconductor-magnetic hybrid nanocrystals with topologically controlled
composition are fabricated by heterogeneous nucleation of spherical ε-Co domains onto …

It has been reported that cobalt aluminate formation is a cause of deactivation during Fischer–
Tropsch synthesis (FTS), as it forms at the expense of active cobalt and is irreducible during …
