Abstract
A Fischer-Tropsch catalyst is prepared by impregnating a silica carrier with a solution of a zirconium or titanium compound, calcining the composition thus obtained, thereafter impregnating the carrier with a cobalt compound-containing solution and calcining and reducing the composition thus obtained. Catalysts so prepared and containing 5-40 pbw of cobalt and 2-150 pbw of zirconium or titanium per 100 pbw of silica, are used in the preparation of hydrocarbons from a H.sub.2 /CO mixture.
Claims13
A process for the preparation of hydrocarbons by catalytic reaction of carbon monoxide with hydrogen, characterized in that a H.sub.2 and CO-containing feed is contacted at a temperature of 125.degree.-350.degree. C. and a pressure of 5-150 bar with a catalyst which contains 5-40 pbw cobalt and 2-150 pbw zirconium or titanium per 100 pbw silica and has been prepared by impregnating a silica carrier once or several times with a solution of a zirconium or titanium compound, calcining the composition thus obtained, impregnating the calcined composition once or several times with a solution of a cobalt compound and calcining and reducing the compositions thus obtained.
