The hydrocarbon produced from Fischer Tropsch reaction using bio-syngas is biofuel (diesel, kerosene, gasoline) that can replace petroleum-based fuels. Cobalt catalyst with potassium promoter and γ-Al2O3 support has been successfully synthesized in Catalysis and Reaction Engineering (CaRE) laboratory, Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB). Co-K/γ-Al2O3 catalyst was prepared by dry impregnation method on the γ-Al2O3 support under alkaline conditions. Catalysts were characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), temperature program reduction (TPR), and N2 physisorption measurements such as Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) methods. Co-K/γ-Al2O3 catalyst activity was evaluated using fixed bed reactor with various flow rates and temperatures which is still classified as Low-Temperature Fischer Tropsch (LTFT) process. The best results were obtained at minimum syngas flow rate and highest reaction temperature with a total pressure of 20 bar. The results show CO and H2 conversions were 96.6% and 82.31% respectively. Selectivity value of the hydrocarbon product was calculated using the Anderson Shultz Flurry (ASF) equation. The greatest selectivity value was obtained for C5+ product with selectivity value was 86.07 % wt.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1088/1757-899X/823/1/012024[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
