The effect of the particle size on Fischer-Tropsch synthesis for ZSM-5 zeolite supported cobalt-based catalysts

A series of mesoporous ZSM-5 zeolite supported cobalt-based catalysts with the cobalt crystal sizes in the range of 4.5-18.1 nm were prepared for syngas conversion. The highly selective synthesis of various liquid fuels including gasoline, jet fuel and diesel range hydrocarbons is achieved with different cobalt nanoparticle sizes.
