Abstract:
This invention relates to a cobalt-based catalyst on a metal structure for selective production of synthetic oil via Fischer-Tropsch reaction, a method of preparing the same and a method of selectively producing synthetic oil using the same, wherein zeolite, cobalt and a support are mixed and ground to give a catalyst sol, which is then uniformly thinly applied on the surface of a metal structure using a spray-coating process, thereby preventing generation of heat during Fischer-Tropsch reaction and selectively producing synthetic oil having a carbon chain shorter than that of wax. This catalyst is prepared by burning a powder mixture obtained by melt infiltration of a cobalt hydrate and a metal oxide support to give a catalyst powder including cobalt oxide/metal oxide support; hybridizing the catalyst powder including cobalt oxide/metal oxide support with a zeolite powder to give a hybrid catalyst powder; mixing the hybrid catalyst powder with an organic binder and an inorganic binder and grinding the mixed hybrid catalyst powder to give a hybrid catalyst sol; spray-coating a metal structure surface-treated with alumina by atomic layer deposition with the hybrid catalyst sol; and thermally treating the metal structure spray-coated with the hybrid catalyst sol.

Abstract:
Pyrolysis of machined osseous tissue results in a monolith of carbon interwoven within the HA scaffold native to the original tissue. This HA framework prevents the collapse of the carbon to dense forms during pyrolysis. Upon removal of the HA scaffold after pyrolysis, a monolith that preserves the macroscopic form of the carbon remains. The monolith is placed in a solution of catalyst, noble metal ions for example, which is then reduced to facilitate the precipitation of nanoparticles of the catalyst. The novelty of this invention is that a high number of particles are contained within a relatively small, extremely high surface area solid support. The current invention demonstrates that the pyrolysis of intact bovine cortical bone produces high-carbon-surface-area monoliths, which can be used as a scaffold for reusable catalysts.

The present invention provides methods and designs of enclosed-channel reactor system for manufacturing catalysts or supports. Both of the configuration designs force the gaseous precursors and purge gas flow through the channel surface of reactor. The precursors will transform to thin film or particle catalysts or supports under adequate reaction temperature, working pressure and gas concentration. The reactor body is either sealed or enclosed for isolation from atmosphere.
