Abstract
The present invention relates to a catalyst composition suitable for converting synthesis gas to hydrocarbons which is a mixture of zinc oxide, an oxide of at least one metal selected from gallium and indium, an oxide of at least one additional metal selected from the elements of Group IB, II-V, VIB, VIIB and VIII including the Lanthanides and Actinides and a porous crystalline tectometallosilicate. The catalyst composition is formed by intimately mixing the tectometallosilicate and the mixture of metal oxides such that the individual particles have a size of less than 50 BSS mesh. The catalyst composition is particularly suited for converting synthesis gas to liquid, branched aliphatic hydrocarbons.
