Abstract:
1. A method for the production of hydrocarbons, comprising: impregnating an initial alumina support material with a source of a 2-valent metal capable of forming a spinel compound with alumina to produce an impregnated alumina support material; calcining the impregnated alumina support material at a temperature of at least 800° C. to produce a modified alumina support material, the modified alumina support material comprising the spinel compound; impregnating the modified alumina support material with a source of catalytically active metal to produce an impregnated modified alumina support material; calcining the impregnated modified alumina support material at a temperature of at least 150° C. to produce an alumina-supported catalyst; and subjecting H
