            To form hydrocarbons with more than 1 C atom in the molecule by catalytically reacting CO with H2, the operation is carried out in the presence of mixtures of different catalysts, which have been prepared separately and whose individual grains contain only 1 catalyst of the same method of preparation.  Thus, mixtures of Co or Ni catalysts with Fe catalysts may be used, 1 being prepared by precipitation, the other by fusion.
