In the light of the fact that copper is used as a promoter for the iron catalyst and that the industry is looking at a commercial FT synthesis cobalt catalyst, it is essential to reinvestigate the effect of copper on a cobalt catalyst. Copper has an effect on the overall activity of iron and cobalt [Kolbel, 1951, J. Schwank, 1991], but the reasons are not clearly understood. In the present study the role of copper as a promoter on the performance of 16.67% (wt) Co/Si02 is investigated with TPR, CO chemisorption, TEM and FT synthesis. 2014-07-31T11:13:51Z 2014-07-31T11:13:51Z 2000 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5389 eng application/pdf Department of Chemical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
