Abstract
Process for activating a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis catalyst that comprises at least two stages:at least one stage for activation in the presence of hydrogen, or a mixture of hydrogen and an inert gas, andat least one stage for activation in the presence of carbon monoxide or a mixture of carbon monoxide and an inert gas,and optionally a third activation stage that is carried out either in the presence of hydrogen or a mixture of hydrogen and an inert gas, or in the presence of carbon monoxide or a mixture of carbon monoxide and an inert gas.
