The present invention is directed to a catalyst suitable for catalyzing a Fischer-Tropsch reaction, said catalyst comprising cobalt metal supported on zinc-oxide and having the following particle size distribution by volume: &#x3c;10% having a particle size below 1 micron, 70-99% having a particle size between 1 and 5 micron, and &#x3c;20% having a particle size above 5 micron.

Fischer-tropsch catalyst

The present invention is directed to a catalyst suitable for catalyzing a Fischer-Tropsch reaction, said catalyst comprising cobalt metal supported on zinc-oxide and an amount of zirconium(IV)oxide and/or aluminum oxide of between 0.5 and 2.5 wt. % calculated as metal, based on the weight of the calcined catalyst.

Fischer-Tropsch catalyst

The present invention relates to a catalyst comprising particles of a cobalt and zinc co-precipitate, having a volume average particle size of less than 150 &#x3bc;m. Another aspect of the invention is the use of such a catalyst in a Fischer-Tropsch process. The present invention further relates to a method for preparing a catalyst comprising cobalt and zinc oxide, wherein an acidic solution comprising zinc ions and cobalt ions and a alkaline solution are contacted and the precipitate is isolated.

The present invention relates to a catalyst comprising a preferably oxidic, core material, a shell of zinc oxide around said core material, and a catalytically active material in or on the shell, based on one or more of the metals cobalt, iron, ruthenium and/or nickel, preferably a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst, to the preparation of such a catalyst and the use thereof in GTL processes.

Processes using a supported catalyst

The present invention relates to a Catalyst comprising a, preferably oxidic, core material, a shell of zinc oxide around said core material, and a catalytically active material in or on the shell, based on one or more of the metals cobalt, iron, ruthenium and/or nickel, preferably a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst, to the preparation of such a catalyst and the use thereof in GTL processes.
