Abstract: | Abstact The reduction process of silica supported cobalt catalyst was studied by thermal analysis technique. The reduction of the
catalyst proceeds in two steps: which was validated by the TPR and in-situ XRD experiments. The kinetic parameters of the reduction process were obtained with a comparative method. For the first step,
the activation energy, E
a, and the pre-exponential factor, A, were found to be 104.35 kJ mol−1 and 1.18·106∼2.45·109 s−1 respectively. The kinetic model was random nucleation and growth and the most probable mechanism function was found to be
f(α)=3/2(1−α)−ln(1−α)]1/3 or in the integral form: g(α)=−ln(1−α)]2/3. For the second step, the activation energy, E
a, and the pre-exponential factor, A, were found to be 118.20 kJ mol−1 and 1.75·107∼2.45 · 109s−1 respectively. The kinetic model was a second order reaction and the probable mechanism function was f(α)=(1−α)2 or in the integral form: g(α)=1−α]−1−1. |
