ABSTRACT

In this work, effects of reduction temperature were characterized to confirm the state of cobalt species on γ-Al2O3 supports after real reduction step by TPR and XRD. And this paper was focused to give the more understandable data of the cobalt

1 INTRODUCTION

Cobalt catalysts have higher activities in hydrogenation reactions between those of nickel and copper (Ertl et al. 2008). It is used for Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) which convert natural gas to diesel and gasoline via synthesis gas (GTL) (Jung et al. 2012) and GTL is one of valuable technologies to resolve a shortage of petroleum.
