The invention also provides a method for producing said particles and a process for using said particles.
Claims20
Self-supported precipitated α-Fe2O3-based Fischer-Tropsch catalyst particles for a Fischer-Tropsch slurry-bed process, which particles are produced according to a method comprising the step of:
- heat treating precipitated α-Fe2O3-based particles at a temperature of from 320° C. to 500° C., whereby self-supported precipitated α-Fe2O3-based catalyst particles are obtained.
Self-supported precipitated α-Fe2O3-based Fischer-Tropsch catalyst particles, wherein the particles comprise an average primary particle size of from 2 nm to 4 nm.
