Characterisation and evaluation of catalytic activity of MOF-Co catalyst for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis
Abstract
Metal-organic framework materials (MOF-Co10, MOF-Co50 and MOF-Co100) were synthesised by solvothermal method. The catalysts were characterised by XRD, TG/DSC, BET, FT-IR and SEM. The results show that MOF-Co10 has good thermal stability (up to 300oC), high surface area of 665,58m2/g, and high porosity. MOF-Co can be used as catalyst for the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) and other catalytic reactions which are carried out at temperature less than 300oC. The results obtained from the FTS at 200oC, 10 atm in 16 hours prove that the catalytic activity of MOF-Co10 is better than that of MOF-Co50. The reaction products (analysed by GC-MS) are mainly hydrocarbons in gasoline fraction. This opens a trend to use MOF-Co10 as catalysts for gasoline production by FTS.
