Production of fischer-tropsch synthesis produced wax

摘要

A process for producing a clean wax product includes contacting, at an elevated temperature between 180° C. and 250° C. and at an elevated pressure between 10 bar and 40 bar, a synthesis gas comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide with a cobalt slurry phase Fischer-Tropsch synthesis catalyst, in a slurry phase Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction. The catalyst is obtained from a successful catalyst support. A clean wax product containing less than 50 mass ppm submicron particulates of cobalt, is produced.
