Process for manufacturing a piece of β-SiC form comprising mesopores with a diameter of between 6 nm and 100 nm representing a mesoporous volume (determined by mercury intrusion porosimetry) greater than 0.30 cm 3 / g, said process comprising the transformation of a mesoporous carbon preform with at least one source of silicon carbide silicon (β-SiC), said silicon source being able to be incorporated in said preform or brought from the outside, said carbon preform having mesopores with a diameter of between 6 nm and 100 nm of a mesoporous volume greater than 0.25 cm 3 per gram of carbon. This mesoporous piece of β-SiC can be used as a catalyst support for chemical reactions involving a liquid phase, and in particular for the Fischer-Tropsch reaction. |
