Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis over a Cobalt Catalyst Supported on Titania-Doped Silicon Carbide

A cobalt Fischer–Tropsch synthesis catalyst supported on titania-doped silicon carbide is synthesized and comprehensively studied by a number of physicochemical means. The dynamics of the behavior and deactivation of the catalyst was studied after its stable operation for 1500 h during continuous experimental resource testing with a periodic change in the syngas flow rate and pressure and the process temperature. This catalyst has two types of active sites, on which products with different Schulz–Flory distribution parameters form. Depending on the process regime, the effective formation of soft waxes or more high-molecular-weight products is possible.
