Abstract

A magnetic method was proposed for evaluating the average particle size of cobalt metal in supported cobalt catalysts for the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. This method includes a set of techniques such as in situ temperature-programmed reduction and in situ temperature-programmed oxidation with simultaneous magnetization measurements and the dependence of magnetization on magnetic field intensity (the field dependence method). It was found that cobalt supported on silica gel with a bimodal pore-size distribution exhibited a special behavior in topochemical processes: the majority of cobalt particles occurred in a superparamagnetic state, while a portion occurred in a multidomain state.
