Morphology and Catalytic Properties of Cobalt-Containing Catalysts Synthesized by Different Means

Abstract

Cobalt-containing catalysts are studied via BET, XRD, SEM, and TPR-H2. Their activity in the reaction of carbon dioxide methane conversion and the process of Fischer–Tropsch synthesis is studied. It was shown that unlike impregnation, preparing Co/γ-Al2O3 via solution combustion increases the dispersibility of the active phase of the catalyst and facilitates the reduction of cobalt oxide, which enhances the activity of the catalyst.
