Claim 15:
16. A process for the preparation of a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis catalyst, said process comprising:
a) impregnating the porous, extruded and calcined titania-based material according to claim 1 with a solution of at least one thermally decomposable cobalt, iron, nickel, ruthenium or rhodium compound;
b) drying and calcining the impregnated porous, extruded titania-based material at a temperature sufficient to convert the at least one thermally decomposable cobalt, iron, nickel, ruthenium or rhodium compound to an oxide thereof or to the metal form; and where an oxide is formed, optionally
c) heating the dried and calcined porous, extruded titania-based material under reducing conditions to convert the at least one cobalt, iron, nickel, ruthenium or rhodium oxide to the metal form.
