ABSTRACT

The effect of heat treatment parameters was studied for Co-Mn-carbon catalyst for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction. It is observed that the change in heat treatment temperature can affect the activity and product selectivity of the catalyst. This appears to be linked to the loss of the surface area of materials. Both higher temperatures and longer heat treatment durations have a negative effect on the
