A PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF A CATALYST SUITABLE FOR THE CONVERSION OF CARBON MONOXIDE AND HYDROGEN INTO HYDROCARBONS

摘要

Process for preparing catalyst, by kneading and/or impregnation which comprises 3-60 pbw cobalt and 0.1-100 pbw of zirconium, titanium and/or chromium per 100 pbw silica and/or alumina and which has such L and S as to satisfy the relation… (3 + 4R) > L/S > (0.3 + 0.4R),… wherein L = total quantity of cobalt present on catalyst (mg Co/ml), S = the surface area of catalyst m<2>/ml, and R = weight ratio of cobalt deposited on catalyst by kneading to total quantity of cobalt on catalyst. …Catalyst is suitable for synthesis of hydrocarbons from synthesis gas.
