Abstract
A supported cobalt-based catalyst is described, characterized in that the carrier has an average particle diameter, measured by means of Coulter LS230, ranging from 70 to 250 μm, a surface area higher than 175 m2/g and a pore volume higher than 0.35 cm3/g, measured with the B.E.T. method. The above catalyst is particularly useful in the Fischer-Tropsch reaction.
Claims8
A supported cobalt-based catalyst characterized in that the carrier has an average particle diameter, measured by means of Coulter LS230, ranging from 70 to 250 μm, a surface area higher than 175 m2/g and a pore volume higher than 0.35 cm3/g measured with the B.E.T. method.
A Fischer-Tropsch process in a gas-liquid-solid fluidized reactor which comprises the reaction of CO and H2, optionally diluted with CO2 and/or N2, to prevalently give C5+ hydrocarbons, characterized in that it is carried out in the presence of the catalyst according to any of the previous claims.
