Abstract The present invention generally relates to the development of iron-based catalysts for catalysing the hydrogenation of carbon monoxide to form hydrocarbon products. Herein, a method for controllably producing a hematite-containing Fischer-Tropsch (FT) catalyst and embodiments of said method is disclosed. Consequently, the disclosed method and embodiments thereof enables production of hematite-containing catalysts at a reduced cost relative to conventional FT catalyst production. cc c m. c m.
