ResumoThe present study reports the synthesis of paraffinic hydrocarbons in the C10–C20 range using a Co/Zr Fischer–Tropsch (FT) eggshell catalyst supported on silica. Operating conditions selected for the experimental studies, in a Berty-type reactor, are representative of industrial operation. Five kinetic models are considered: one empirical model and four variations of a Langmuir–Hinselwood representation. All models considered incorporate a strong inhibition due to CO adsorption. Kinetic parameters are determined using non-linear regression and are validated by means of statistical analysis.
