CATALYST FOR FISCHER-TROPSCH SYNTHESIS AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF, SAID CATALYST CONTAINING A CARRIER MATERIAL BASED ON PYROGENIC SILICIC ACID MODIFIED WITH MAGNESIUM

摘要

The invention relates to a catalyst for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, comprising a carrier material based on pyrogenic silicic acid. The carrier material has a specific surface area of 30 to 500 m²/g and a monomodal pore radius distribution having a maximum in the range of 5 to 30 nm and contains at least one catalytically active component selected from the group of cobalt and iron. The catalyst is characterized in that the carrier material contains 0.01 to 5.0 wt% magnesium.
