Abstract
A process is described for synthetizing hydrocarbons from a mixture comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst comprising at least one group VIII metal supported on a silica-alumina prepared by co-precipitating and calcining at a temperature in the range from about 500° C. to about 1200° C. for at least 6 hours such that said silica-alumina has a specific surface area of less than 260 m2/g. Said catalyst is used in a fixed bed or in suspension in a liquid phase of a three-phase reactor.
