MSc (Chemical Engineering) Thesis Title: Metal support interactions in Co/TiO2 Fischer -Tropsch catalyst The effect of varying the loading of titanium in a cobalt catalyst on the catalyst activity and selectivity for the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (hydrogenation of carbon monoxide to produce long chain hydrocarbons) was investigated. A phenomenal increase in activity with increasing Ti loading was achieved and attributed to metal-support interactions.
