Different strategies for incorporating
cobalt during the synthesis
of an Al-pillared clay material were studied to obtain Co-catalysts
to be used as a catalyst in the Fischer–Tropsch reaction to
produce synthetic fuels. The catalytic materials were characterized
employing N2 adsorption–desorption at 77 K, X-ray
diffraction, atomic absorption spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,
temperature-programmed reduction, and Raman spectroscopy. The catalytic
activity of the materials for Fischer–Tropsch synthesis was
evaluated at a fixed-bed, laboratory-scale microreactor at 2.0 MPa,
and the correlations between the method of synthesis, the properties
of the materials, and their catalytic behavior were established.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
