Rabo, J A; Coughlin, P K

A catalyst composition is described adapted for enhanced conversion of synthesis gas comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogen to C[sub 5][sup +] hydrocarbon mixtures having enhanced suitability for use as liquid motor fuels comprising: (a) a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst component; and (b) a co-catalyst/support component comprising a steam-stabilized, hydrophobic zeolite Y catalyst, whereby said catalyst composition exhibits enhanced stability in the desired synthesis gas conversion, with relatively minor production of heavy products boiling beyond the diesel oil range. The composition is also described of claim 2 in which said Fischer-Tropsch catalyst comprises cobalt.
