PROCESS FOR PREPARING A CATALYST

摘要

A process for the preparation of a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst or catalyst precursor, comprising the steps of : (a) shaping a carrier material comprising titania; (b) calcining the shaped carrier; (c) impregnating the carrier with an excess volume of a melt of a cobalt nitrate salt; and (d) keeping the temperature of the resulting catalyst or catalyst precursor below 180 °C up to the moment the resulting catalyst or catalyst precursor is subjected to an activation step or used in a Fischer-Tropsch reaction.
