Abstract
The invention relates to a process for the conversion of synthesis gases into a mixture of essentially linear and saturated hydrocarbons, characterized by the use of a catalyst prepared by a gelling procedure, incorporating cobalt, copper and ruthenium, the cobalt, copper and ruthenium being dispersed on a support having at least one oxide of a metal chosen from within the group formed by silica and alumina, the cobalt content, expressed by cobalt weight based on the catalyst weight, being between 1 and 60% by weight, the ruthenium content, expressed by ruthenium weight based on the cobalt weight, being between 0.1 and 20%, and the copper weight, expressed by copper weight based on the cobalt weight, being between 0.1 and 10%.
