Abstract

A supported cobalt-based catalyst, characterized in that the carrier has an average particle diameter, measured by Coulter LS230, ranging from 70 to 250 &mgr;m, a surface area higher than 175 m2/g and a pore volume higher than 0.35 cm3/g, measured by the B.E.T. method. The catalyst is particularly useful in the Fischer-Tropsch reaction.
