Abstract
A process for converting a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide gases to a composition comprising alcohols and liquid hydrocarbons by means of a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction, said process comprising contacting a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide gases, preferably in the form of synthesis gas mixture, with a supported Co—Mn Fischer-Tropsch synthesis catalyst, wherein: the support material of the supported Co—Mn Fischer-Tropsch synthesis catalyst comprises a material selected from titania, zinc oxide, zirconia, and ceria; the supported synthesis catalyst comprises at least 2.5 wt % of manganese, on an elemental basis, based on the total weight of the supported synthesis catalyst; the weight ratio of manganese to cobalt, on an elemental basis, is 0.2 or greater; the molar ratio of hydrogen to carbon monoxide is at least 1; and, the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reaction is conducted at a pressure in the range of from 1.0 to 10.0 MPa absolute.
