摘要
Slurry-phase Fischer-Tropsch catalysis is widely used in the production of synthetic transportation fuels, but places severe stresses on the catalyst due to the demanding hydrothermal and mechanical reaction conditions. In this Article we report the synthesis, characterization and catalytic performance of a robust cobalt-based Fischer-Tropsch catalyst. Combining an inert alpha alumina support with an appropriate cobalt addition method produces a material that is easy to reduce without precious metal additives and is mechanically and hydrothermally stable. Unlike many Fischer-Tropsch catalysts, this material is resistant to sintering and shows excellent selectivity and good activity in slurry-phase testing over 1,000 hours.
