The article considers the effect of Al2O3 loading on the physical and chemical properties of cobalt catalysts. The loading of the alumina additive has a significant effect on both the phase and texture properties, as well as on the cobalt reduction process in the composition of the studied samples. It was found that with increasing loading of the additive, the specific surface area of the catalysts decreases, and the cobalt recovery process slows down.
