METHOD FOR PREPARING COBALT-CONTAINING HYDROCARBON SYNTHESIS CATALYST

摘要

The activity of supported cobalt catalysts for hydrocarbon synthesis is maximized by carrying out the reduction at condi- tions that keep both the partial pressure of water vapor and the maximum reduction temperature below critical maximum values. For titania supported cobalt catalysts, the preferred maximum water partial pressure is one atmosphere and the preferred maxi- mum reduction temperature is 375 .degree.C.
