1. A process for hydrogenating carbon monoxide comprising passing H2 and CO into a reaction chamber comprising a catalyst comprising:
a porous support;
an interfacial layer; and
a Fischer-Tropsch catalytic metal;
wherein the catalyst possesses catalytic activity defined by a test in which the catalyst is placed in a tube inside an isothermal
furnace and exposed to a feed stream consisting of a 3 to 1 ratio of hydrogen gas to carbon monoxide, at 250° C. and a average
residence time of 12.5 seconds, the selectivity to methane is greater and the conversion of carbon monoxide is lower at 24
atmospheres than it is at 6 atmospheres of pressure.
