Fischer-Tropsch catalysts tyically contain metals such as iron, cobalt and ruthenium. In this study a supported cobalt catalyst was used, in which cobalt was put on the support by colloidal impregnation. Some literature on CO hydrogenation indicates that molybdenum oxide and vanadium oxide used as a promoter may be beneficial for the activity and selectivity of a cobalt based catalyst. To eliminate the structural influence on the selectivity by using commercial MoO3 and V2O5 supports, and alumina support was modified with molybdenum and vanadium in an attempt to create molybdenum and vanadium oxide layer covering the alumina surface. 2014-07-31T11:13:45Z 2014-07-31T11:13:45Z 2006 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5385 eng application/pdf Department of Chemical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
