The spinel of cobalt has many practical applications had its excellent physical and chemical properties such as catalyst in hydrocarbon oxidation reaction. The CeO2 has been used in many of these processes because it assigns to a material with excellent thermal resistance and mechanics, high capacity of oxygen stockage (OSC) among others properties. This work deals with the synthesis, characterization and catalytic application of spinel of cobalt and CeO2 with fluorita structure, obtained for method of Pechini and method of Gel-Combustion. The process of Pechini, the puff was obtained at 300 ?C for 2 h in air. In the process of Gel-Combustion the approximately at 350 ?C material was prepared and burnt for Pyrolysis, both had been calcined at 500 ?C, 700 ?C, 900 ?C and 1050 ?C for 2 h in air. The materials of the calcinations had been characterized by TG/DTA, electronic microscopy of sweepings (MEV), spectroscopy of absorption in the infra-red ray (FTIR) and diffraction of X-rays (DRX). The obtained material reaches the phase oxide at 450 oC for Pechini method and 500 ?C for combustion method. The samples were submitted catalytic reaction of n-hexane on superficies of materials. The reactor function in molar ration of 0, 85 mol.h-1.g-1 and temperature of system was 450 ?C. The sample obtained for Pechini and support in alumine of superficial area of 178,63 m2.g-1 calcined at 700 ?C, give results of catalytic conversions of 39 % and the sample obtained for method of gel-combustion and support in alumina of 150 mesh calcined at 500 ?C result 13 % of conversion. Both method were selective specie C1 / O espin?lio de cobalto tem muitas aplica??es pr?ticas devido as suas excelentes propriedades f?sicas e qu?micas tal como catalisador nas rea??es de oxida??o de hidrocarboneto. O CeO2 tem sido utilizado em muitos processos porque designa um material com excelente resist?ncia t?rmica e mec?nica, alta capacidade de estocagem de oxig?nio (OSC) entre outras propriedades. Este trabalho trata da s?ntese e caracteriza??o e aplica??o catal?tica dos ?xidos de cobalto com estrutura espin?lio e CeO2 com estrutura fluorita, obtidos pelo m?todo de Pechini e pelo m?todo de gel-combust?o. No processo Pechini o puff foi obtido a 300 ?C por 2 h em atmosfera ambiente. No processo de gel-combust?o o material foi preparado e queimado a aproximadamente 350 ?C por igni??o espont?nea e, posteriormente, ambos os p?s foram calcinados a 500 ?C, 700 ?C, 900 ?C e 1050 ?C por 2 h em atmosfera ambiente. Os p?s-resultantes das calcina??es foram caracterizados por TG/DTA, microscopia eletr?nica de varredura (MEV), espectroscopia de absor??o no infravermelho (FTIR) e difra??o de raios X (DRX). O material obtido deve atingir a fase ?xida a 450 ?C, para Pechini e 500 ?C para gel-combust?o. As amostras foram submetidas a rea??es catal?ticas de n-hexano sobre os catalisadores de Ce/Co. O reator operou a uma raz?o F/W fluxo molar de reagente por grama de catalisador de 0,85 mol.h-1.g-1 e temperatura no leito de 450 ?C. Para amostras obtidas por Pechini calcinadas a 700 ?C e suportada em alumina com ?rea superficial de 178,63 m2.g-1 obteve-se 39 % de convers?o catal?tica. Para as amostras obtidas pelo m?todo de gel-combust?o calcinadas a 500 ?C e suportada em alumina da Porogel com 150 mesh obteve cerca de 13 % de convers?o catal?tica. Ambos os m?todos foram seletivos a esp?cie C1.
