The effect of sulfur was studied during olefin synthesis on a Co/Mn based catalyst at 240 �C and 5 bar. Surprisingly 10 ppm H2S had negligible effect on activity and hydrocarbon selectivity. A higher concentration of H2S (30 ppm) led to immediate, but minor decrease in activity without influencing the selectivity. The activity was also recovered by removing the impurity from the feed stream. Purging with H2 after sulfur exposure was not beneficial. An increased level of sulfur was detected on the catalyst after testing by ICP analysis and small amounts of Co and Mn could be detected in the collected wax.
