Abstract:
A process for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis comprising the steps of:(a) co-impregnating a .gamma.-alumina support with cobalt and palladium by totally aqueous co-impregnation to obtain a palladium-promoted, cobalt-on-alumina catalyst comprising from about 10 to about 65 parts by weight (pbw) of said cobalt and from about 0.25 to about 9 pbw of said palladium per 100 pbw of said .gamma.-alumina support, said cobalt and said palladium forming a dispersed catalytic phase wherein said palladium is in intimate contact with said cobalt; and(b) reacting a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis gas in the presence of said palladium-promoted, cobalt-on-alumina catalyst in a continuous reaction system.
