Abstract

Co/TiO2 catalyst activation for Fischer–Tropsch (FT) reaction by CO in comparison to H2 has been performed. The catalyst, prepared by incipient wetness impregnation, has been characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses after separate reduction using CO and H2 respectively. Temperature programmed reduction (TPR) analyses were also conducted to study the reduction behaviour of the catalyst in presence of H2 and CO respectively. CO improved catalyst reduction and produced a more stable and active catalyst with higher selectivity and yield for C5+ hydrocarbons at extended time-on-stream.
