COBALT-BASED CATALYSTS

Abstract

Among the known catalysts for the synthesis of high molecular weight synthetic hydrocarbons from pentane to nonadecane from a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, cobalt-based catalysts are the most promising. They are characterized by [47, 48]: operation at relatively low temperatures; active influence on the preferential formation of n-saturated hydrocarbons; and low activity in the formation of water gas
