Moorehead, E L

A process is described for converting synthesis gas into Fischer-Tropsch synthesis products which comprises contacting the synthesis gas under Fischer-Tropsch synthesis conditions with a catalyst containing a crystalline composition comprising silicon, oxygen, a metal selected from the group consisting of iron, nickel and cobalt, and a rare earth metal selected from the group consisting of lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, promethium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, lutetium and mixtures thereof, wherein the crystalline composition is substantially free of aluminum, boron and gallium and is characterized by an X-ray powder diffraction pattern having a line of at least strong intensity at an interplanar spacing less than about 5 Angstroms and lines of at least medium intensity at interplanar spacings of 3.64 Angstroms, 3.44 Angstroms, 3.30 Angstroms and 3.14 Angstroms.
