Abstract PURPOSE: To increase the catalytic activity for reducing carbon monoxide with hydrogen by depositing cobalt or cobalt and lanthanum on a carrier consisting of zeolite to mold the catalyst for synthesizing hydrocarbons. CONSTITUTION: A catalyst for synthesizing hydrocarbons is molded by depositing cobalt or cobalt and lanthanum on a carrier consisting of zeolite which is hydrated inosilicate minerals of porous magnesium. As the shape of the carrier, a granular body, a platelike body, a pelletized body and a honeycombed body or the like are used. As the method for depositing cobalt and lanthanum on the zeolite carrier, for example, the zeolite carrier is immersed into an aqueous solution of metallic salts of catalytic components such as cobalt nitrate, lanthanum nitrate, cobalt chloride and lanthanum chloride and the drying plus calcining thereof are performed. |
