Patent ID: 8618182

Claim:
A process for synthesizing essentially linear, saturated C5+hydrocarbons, consisting of bringing a feed comprising synthesis gas into contact with at least one catalyst the active phase of which comprises at least one metal from group VIII deposited on a support formed by at least one oxide, said catalyst being prepared using a process comprising at least: i) at least one step for bringing at least said support into contact with at least one solution containing at least one precursor of said metal from group VIII; ii) at least one step for bringing at least said support into contact with at least one organic compound formed from at least one cyclic oligosaccharide composed of at least 6 Î±-(1,4)-bonded glucopyranose subunits; iii) at least one calcining step to obtain at least said metal from group VIII in the oxide form; the steps i) and ii) possibly being carried out separately, in any order, or simultaneously.
