The catalysts were prepared using a wet impregnation method and promoted with potassium. Samples were characterized by nitrogen adsorption, H2-TPR, and TEM. The Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) was carried out in a fixed-bed microreactor 220°C, 1 atm, H2/CO=2 and a velocity (SV) =12 L/g.h. for 5 h. Addition of potassium into Co/CNTs decreased the average size of cobalt nanoparticles and the catalyst reducibility. Potassium-promoted Co catalyst resulted in appreciable increase in the selectivity of C5+ hydrocarbons and suppressed methane formation. The 0.06KCo/CNTs catalyst enhanced the C5+ hydrocarbons selectivity by a factor of 23.5 and reduced the methane selectivity by a factor of 39.6 © 2012 American Institute of Physics. date: 2012 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84874141370&doi=10.1063%2f1.4757549&partnerID=40&md5=ac7e795ce152dfeab8dd8734b726db9e id_number: 10.1063/1.4757549 full_text_status: none publication: AIP Conference Proceedings volume: 1482 place_of_pub: Kuala Lumpur pagerange: 639-642 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9780735410947 issn: 0094243X citation: Ali, S. and Mohd Zabidi, N.A. and Subbarao, D.
