The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction has showed interest due to its technological and scientific character since the process is able to convert natural gas into high added value products. In the present work, iron catalysts supported on SBA-15 or silica doped alumina were synthesized, characterized, activated and employed in the Fischer Tropsch synthesis. The catalysts were prepared via incipient wetness impregnation method using iron III chloride, obtaining catalysts with a weight percentage of about 5%, 10% and, in the case of silica doped alumina, 20% as well. The samples were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (ATG), with measurements of N2 physisorption, X-ray diffraction (DRX) and temperature programmed reduction (RTP). Iron content was determined by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The catalysts activation and, subsequently, their catalytic tests were conducted in a bench tubular reactor and the products were analyzed by gas chromatography with flame ionization detector (CG-DIC), where it was detected the formation of C1-C4 hydrocarbons. The N2 physisorption showed that the introduction iron in the supports decreased the specific surface area and the pore volume of the materials. X-ray diffraction was performed for catalysts after calcination, showing the presence of α-Fe2O3 and Fe3O4 phases, after activation and after reaction, where it was found crystals of Fe0 and iron carbides Fe5C2 and Fe2C. The catalytic tests showed greater C2-3 selectivity for SBA-15 supported catalysts.
