Abstract

Combined techniques of XRD, SQUID magnetometry, and electron magnetic resonance spectroscopy were employed to determine the different phases (Co, CoO, Co3O4) and electronic states (CoO, Co2+, Co3+), and their concentrations in cobalt catalysts supported on high surface area xerogel, aerogel, SiO2 and Al2O3. These results were then compared with the yields and distribution of products in conventional gas-phase and supercritical-phase Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Correlations between the different electronic states of cobalt and product yields were discussed. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 230th ACS National Meeting (Washington, DC 8/28/2005-9/1/2005).
