Claim Text:
1. A method of producing a modified aluminium oxide supported catalyst, the method comprising the steps of: forming a slurry by mixing aluminium oxide, a 2-valent metal compound capable of forming a spinel phase, and a soluble compound of trivalent aluminium; shaping a solid material from the slurry into a solid precursor material; calcining the precursor material at a temperature in the range of 700° C. to 1300° C. to produce a modified aluminium oxide support material including a metal aluminate spinel phase compound formed by the metal capable of forming a spinel phase and the aluminium oxide; impregnating the modified aluminium oxide support material with a source of cobalt to form an impregnated modified aluminium oxide support material; and calcining the impregnated modified aluminium oxide support material at a temperature of at least 150° C. to produce the modified aluminium oxide supported catalyst.
