            Co catalysts for the hydrocarbon synthesis from CO and H2 are made by precipitation from solution of Co salts on MgCO3as support.  The used catalysts are regenerated by dissolving the Mg as Mg bicarbonate with II2() and CO2 separation of the Co compounds, and renewed precipitation as basic carbonate.
