Bibliography: pages 136-140. / This thesis set out to investigate the activity of various supported cobalt catalysts for high pressure propene oligomerization. This work was carried out as part of a larger research effort to upgrade light olefins to liquid fuels in the distillate range. The supports investigated included activated carbon, alumina, silica alumina, synthetic mica montmorillonite, zeolite Y and NH₄⁺-ZSM-5. A cobaltmolybdenum hydrodesulphurization catalyst was also tested. The synthesis procedures used in this work included double ammoniation (Co-C), incipient wetness impregnation (Co-C, alumina, NH₄⁺-ZSM-5), ion-exchange (NaY, NH₄⁺-ZSM-5), chemisorption (cobalt complex on activated carbon) and homogeneous deposition-precipitation (Co-Silica alumina).
