Abstract
A model Co/SiO2 catalyst has been investigated by transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction. It has been shown that the calcination at 673 and 773 K causes formation of Co3O4 and enhanced interaction of Co-phase with SiO2 which led to spreading and the appearance of particles with torus-like shape. The redispersion of Co3O4 particles and their reduction to metallic Co after heating of the oxidized samples in H2 at 673 K was established. Attach at grain boundaries is seen to be very important.
