Description: Abstract: Au-promoted cobalt catalyst was prepared by two-step precipitation-deposition of cobalt and gold on a gamma alumina support. The prepared catalyst was characterized by XRD and BET, and used in a laboratory fixed-bed reactor to evaluate the effect of Fischer-Tropsch (FT) reaction total pressure on carbon monoxide conversion and methane selectivity. Carbon monoxide conversion was found to increase with an increase in system pressure and passed through a maximum at a pressure around 5 bar. The methane selectivity was very low and unexpectedly increased at high operating pressure.
