Modified fischer-tropsch monolith catalysts and methods for preparation and use thereof

A method for forming a hybrid Fischer-Tropsch monolith catalyst comprising depositing a hybrid Fischer-Tropsch catalyst composition comprising a synthesis gas conversion component and an acidic component onto a monolithic support.

A process for synthesis gas conversion comprising:

• contacting a synthesis gas feed comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide having a H2/CO ratio between about 1.3 and about 2.0 with a Fischer-Tropsch monolith catalyst comprising a monolithic support and a catalyst layer comprising a synthesis gas conversion component deposited on the monolithic support in an alternating arrangement with a catalyst bed comprising acidic component particles in a reactor at a temperature from about 200° C. to about 260° C., a pressure from about 5 to about 40 atmospheres, and a gaseous hourly space velocity less than 20,000 volumes of gas per volume of catalyst per hour to produce a hydrocarbon product containing at least 50 wt % C5+ hydrocarbons.
