Abstract
A cobalt/ceria catalyst has been found to be receptive for production of lower olefins from synthesis gas by Fischer Tropsch synthesis, and shows high activity for bodouard reaction. The catalyst prepared in various ageing times (the time that precipitated remains in contact with the precipitating medium) resulted in a change in CO conversion and olefin selectivity. Catalysts were prepared in a 0 and 165 minute ageing time. These catalysts were tested at various temperatures and pressures in a stainless steel micro reactor. It was found that a catalyst with 165 minute ageing time was highly receptive to ethylene and methane.
