Abstract
Disclosed are hybrid Fischer-Tropsch catalysts containing cobalt and ZSM-48 zeolite. The hybrid Fischer-Tropsch catalysts can contain cobalt deposited on ZSM-48 extrudate supports. Alternatively, the Fischer-Tropsch catalysts can contain cobalt deposited on supports mixed with ZSM-48 particles. It has surprisingly been found that the use of hybrid Fischer-Tropsch catalysts containing ZSM-48 zeolite in synthesis gas conversion reactions results in improved Cproductivity and catalyst activity, as well as a desirable product distribution including low formation of methane and C.
