A catalyst for a slurry reactor Fischer-Tropsch conversion process utilizing novel catalysts comprising cobalt promoted with zirconium, molybdenum or zirconium and molybdenum and on a small diameter alumina support. The catalysts have been found to be highly selective for production of liquid hydrocarbons while minimizing production of less desirable oxygen-containing products such as alcohols. The preferred catalysts contain from about 5% to 35% cobalt and from about 0.1% to 10% zirconium or zirconium and molybdenum. The preferred process is carried out in a one or more slurry bubble column reactor stagesin series.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A catalyst useful for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis by conversion, at reaction conditions, of a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen to hydrocarbons predominately in the carbon number range of C.sub.5 plus in a slurry catalytic reaction process, said catalyst comprising from about 2% to 35% by weight, based on the total weight of catalyst, cobalt and from about 0.1% to 10% by weight of a metal component or components selected from the group consisting of zirconium, molybdenum and both zirconium and molybdenum supported on an alumina support wherein the alumina support is an is an anhydrous alumina derived from LaRoche VERSAL alumina, and is in the form of microspheres.
