In this study, cobalt-based catalysts were synthesized on carbon nanotubes support using strong electrostatic adsorption (SEA) method and their performance in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) was evaluated. The catalysts were characterized using transmission electron microscope (TEM), N2-physisorption, temperature programmed reduction (TPR), X-ray diffraction XRD, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The catalytic testing was carried out in a fixed-bed micro reactor at 473 to 573 K, 1 to 25 atm and of H2:CO ratio of0.5 to 4.5.
