Co/SiO 2 catalysts were prepared by the incipient wetness method using the aqueous Co nitrate solution modified with various organic acids and/or chelating agents followed by drying and calcination. After H 2 reduction at 773 K, the catalyst prepared with nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) showed Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) activity ca. 3 times higher than the catalyst without additives under mild reaction conditions (503 K, 1.1 MPa).
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.
