Effect of the ordered meso–macroporous structure of Co/SiO 2 on the enhanced activity of hydrogenation of CO to hydrocarbons

Ordered meso–macroporous silica (MMS) was applied for the cobalt-based FTS reaction, and the enhanced activity on the Co/MMS was mainly due to the larger macropore cavity by enhancing the mass transfer rate which can be easily regenerated by in situ feeding of liquid hydrocarbons.
