Abstract:
1. A Fischer-Tropsch catalyst having a skeletal iron structure and increased catalytic selectivity for C 5+ manufactured according to a method, comprising: forming a solid catalyst precursor composition by: removing at least a portion of the removable non-ferrous component from the solid catalyst precursor composition to form a skeletal iron structure composed of a porous metal framework having a specific surface area of at least about 20 m depositing one or more first promoter metals on the skeletal iron structure or incorporating the one or more first promoter metals into the solid catalyst precursor composition during formation thereof or both, optionally, depositing one or more second promoter metals on the skeletal iron structure or incorporating one or more second promoter metals into the catalyst precursor composition during the formation thereof or both,
