Abstract	A series of four cobalt-based catalysts (two of which promoted with ruthenium) supported on SiO$_{2}$ or SBA-15 were prepared and tested in the Fischer–Tropsch synthesis at industrially relevant process conditions (483 K, 20 bar, H$_{2}$/CO ratio = 2.1, pellet size: 53–90 μm). The catalysts were characterized by N$_{2}$-adsorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), H$_{2}$-chemisorption and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Ru as promoter enhanced the activity but not the selectivity to long-chain hydrocarbons ( $$ {\text{S}}_{{{\text{C}}_{ 5+ } }} $$ ). The $$ {\text{S}}_{{{\text{C}}_{ 5+ } }} $$ values of the SBA-supported catalysts were very low, especially at low conversion levels (i.e. low water partial pressure), suggesting that CO diffusion limitation increased the H$_{2}$/CO ratio inside the 1-dimensional (1-D) porous network. A superimposition of the selectivity results on the correlations found in our recent study, derived for Co-based catalysts supported on γ-Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$, α-Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$ and TiO$_{2}$ free from diffusion limitations, was made. While the SiO$_{2}$-supported catalysts with a 3-D porous structure followed the correlations, the SBA-catalysts deviated significantly at low conversions, giving a further indication that the selectivity results of these catalysts were affected by CO diffusion limitations. Hence, it may be concluded that the kinetically significant diffusion distances (i.e. those long enough to cause an intrapore H$_{2}$/CO ratio higher than that of the bulk gas phase) are probably much shorter for 1-D porous networks than for conventional 3-D supports. This is explained by a significantly lower effective diffusivity in 1-D porous networks. The potential of using the correlations between non-ASF distributed hydrocarbons and C$_{5+}$, to give insight on the occurrence of diffusion limitations, was confirmed by superimposing data from the literature that were anticipated to be influenced by CO diffusion limitations.
