Nanodeposition and characterization of cobalt particles inside synthesized faujasitic support for preparing a catalyst for Fischer-Tropsch reaction

The importance of Gas to Liquid (GTL) process is increasing due to growing demand to a high quality, low expensive and cleaner fuel. The quantity and quality of Fischer-Tropsch (the main part of GTL process) reaction’s products depend severely to the utilized catalyst. Nowadays, allof the efforts are focused on preparation of catalysts with the highest activity and most selectivity to C10-C20 paraffins (diesel fuel fraction). It is a verified fact that catalytic support has a great effect on approaching to these specifications [1]. Faujasite zeolites including zeolites type X and Y are well-defined catalysts in petrochemical industries. They are also utilized as catalytic supports for the forming of metal nanoparticles with definite sizes. In Fischer-Tropsch reaction, the ordered and special structure of their porous media may control the creation and growth of hydrocarbon chains [
