Favored hydrogenation of linear carbon monoxide over cobalt loaded on fibrous silica kcc-1
In this study, the conversion of CO into CH4 was investigated utilizing a series of cobalt loaded on fibrous silica (KCC-1) catalysts (Co loading of 5–30 wt%), that were synthesized via microemulsion and impregnation techniques. FESEM-EDX and N2 physisorption demonstrated that the KCC-1 possessed a...

In this study, the conversion of CO into CH4 was investigated utilizing a series of cobalt loaded on fibrous silica (KCC-1) catalysts (Co loading of 5–30 wt%), that were synthesized via microemulsion and impregnation techniques. FESEM-EDX and N2 physisorption demonstrated that the KCC-1 possessed a spherical structure with fibrous silica dendrimeric morphology with a superior surface area of 861 m2g-1. A significant decreased in the catalyst surface area was noticed upon the addition of Co, suggesting a possible occurrence of KCC-1 pore blockage. Inversely, the number of basic sites on KCC-1 was enhanced after the incorporation of Co, as observed by pyrrole adsorbed FTIR. At 523 K, bare KCC-1 exhibited a very low activity for CO methanation due to low basicity and the absence of surface active sites. The 20Co/KCC-1 demonstrated the best catalytic performance with 72.7% yield of CH4 and 6.8% of CO2.
