RESUMO
The Fischer- Tropsch synthesis converts the synthesis gas (H2 + CO), in a complex variety of hydrocarbons, using a catalyst (Co/Al2O3 normally) were introduced to the used supports by the wetness incipient impregnation. The samples were analyzed by several techniques such as: plasma- emission spectrometry (ICP- EAS), N2 physical adsorption by BET method, X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature programmed reduction (TPR), transmission electronic microscopy (TEM), hydrogen chemisorption and Infrared Spectroscopy of adsorbed pyridine. The catalysts were evaluated using a fixed bed reactor in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. For the iron samples, with the same metal content and different supports, it was observed that the MCM-41 sample presented the lowest reduction level. Among the iron samples supported in KL zeolite, the 5% Fe/KL sample presented the largest reduction level. It was observed by transmission electronic microscopy that the iron particles diameter measured around 6 nm. For the cobalt samples, it was observed that the reduction temperature of the MCM-41 supported was the highest one. The 5% Co/KL sample presented the largest reduction level. It was observed by TEM that the cobalt particles presented diameters in the range from 8 to 20 nm. It was verified that the catalyst with the largest iron percentage promoved the highest CO conversion. The products distribuition was shifted to light fractions. It was observed similar conversions to iron catalysts supported in the KL zeolite and in the MCM- 41 mesoporous molecular sieve. The iron catalysts were more active than the cobalt ones in the CO conversion, but tha cobalt catalysts promoted a higher content of diesel fraction and lesser light fractions.
