Abstract

The effects of pore size of silica material, impregnation method, and cobalt loading on reducibility of cobalt oxides and catalytic activity of mesoporous silica supported cobalt catalysts were investigated. Mesoporous silica supported cobalt catalysts were prepared with three different cobalt impregnation methods including incipient wetness, post synthesis and gas incorporation. Nitrogen adsorption isotherms were measured using an Autosorb-1 instrument. The results obtained from XRD patterns and nitrogen adsorption isotherms showed that all the samples had a typical hexagonal structure.
