Abstract
Using Al2O3 with different pore structure as support,methanol,ethanol and citric acid as dispersion agents,Co/Al2O3 catalysts for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation method.Effects of preparation method on structure of the catalysts were investigated by XRD,TG-DSC and H2-TPR,and performance of the catalysts was evaluated in fixed-bed reactor.The results showed that the catalyst with better comprehensive performance could be obtained by using Al2O3 with suitable pore structure as support.The addition of dispersants promoted dispersion of cobalt species on the carrier,enhanced interaction between cobalt and Al2O3,improved activity for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis of catalyst,and significantly increased space-time yield of heavy hydrocarbons.

Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) synthesis is an important route to utilize fossil resources such as coal and natural gas. The key point is the control of catalyst selectivity, that is how to suppress methane formation and to improve distillate selectivity. In the past decade, Co-based F-T synthesis catalysts and related scale-up were investigated in our laboratory, including the relationship between cobalt dispersion, reducibility, and methane formation along with the hydrophobic modification and the core-shell structure. It was found that CH4 selectivity is correlated with the reducibility of cobalt, which depends on its particle size. Based on these, Co-based catalysts have been developed for the scale-up with the feature of low CH4 and high heavy hydrocarbon selectivity. Catalyst I is now subjected to the demo-plant of over 5 000 t/a, and Catalyst II (with much low CH4 selectivity) has operated for more than 8 000 h.

The γ-Al 2 O 3 modified with CoAl 2 O 4 by the impregnation method was used as support to prepare cobalt catalysts. The physicochemical properties of the prepared catalysts were characterized with BET, XRD, H 2 -TPR and XPS techniques and H 2 -chemisorption experiment. The catalytic properties of the prepared catalysts were investigated for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. It was shown that CoAl 2 O 4 existed on the surface of γ-Al 2 O 3 , and thus, effectively weakening the interaction of Co and Al 2 O 3 and resulting in a great increase in the reduction degree and the catalytic activity. The sample with a CoAl 2 O 4 content of 20% shows the highest catalytic activity. It is worth noting that the CoAl 2 O 4 modification decreased the CH 4 selectivity but enhanced the C 5+ selectivity and catalytic stability.

通过浸渍和高温焙烧,制得表面附着CoAl 2 O 4 微晶颗粒的改性Al 2 O 3 载体,并采用等体积浸渍法制备负载型Co基催化剂。结合 N 2 物理吸附、XRD、H 2 -TPR、XPS及H 2 化学吸附等表征手段,研究改性载体及其负载钴基催化剂的织构特征;采用费托合成反应评价其催化性能。结果表明,Al 2 O 3 改性后,表面CoAl 2 O 4 的存在有效减少了载体与活性组分Co的相互作用,显著提高了催化剂的还原度和催化活性。载体的改性量在20%左右达到最佳值,继续增加,催化剂还原度和活性基本不再升高。载体改性促使催化剂CH 4 选择性有所降低,C 5+ 选择性略有提高。
