Claim Text:
1. A Fischer-Tropsch catalyst prepared according to a process comprising: a. impregnating a gamma alumina catalyst support material with a first solution comprising ammonium metavanadate and phosphoric acid to obtain a catalyst support material; b. calcining the catalyst support material at a temperature of at least 500° C. to obtain a modified catalyst support having a pore volume of at least 0.4 cc/g; wherein the modified catalyst support loses no more than 6% of its pore volume when exposed to water vapor; c. contacting the modified catalyst support with a second solution comprising a precursor compound of an active cobalt catalyst component to obtain a catalyst precursor; and d. reducing the catalyst precursor to activate the catalyst precursor to obtain the Fischer-Tropsch catalyst.
