Synthesis And Characterization Of Cobalt/Iron Nanocatalyst Via Reverse Microemulsion Method

Sabatier and Senderens have been known as the pioneers of catalytic hydrogenation of
carbon monoxide which established the first experiment in 1902. During the period,
methane was produced from a mixture of CO and C02 gases under I atm pressure at 453
~ 473K. II was then continued by Hans Fischer and Franz Tropsch under Snythol
process which operated the experiment above I 00 bar. The process managed to produce
a mixture of aliphatic oxygenated compounds through the reaction of C02 with H2 at
673K. A mixture of hydrocarbon called Synthine was produced when the product was
heated under pressure. In 1923. it was reported that more heavy hydrocarbons could be
produced at lower pressure which below than 7 bar.
