Abstract: The effects of Ru content on Co/SiO2 catalyst structure and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis were studied. With the increase in Ru content, the reactivity monotonously increased, and the selectivity for C5+ hydrocarbons was improved when a suitable content of ruthenium was introduced.

Key words: cobalt catalyst, silica, ruthenium promoter, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis
