    Dilution of the reactants does not lower the yield but decreases the rate when the diluents comprise reaction products that are adsorbed on the catalyst. The distillation characteristics of the products are independent of the contact time and the composition of the charge. A product of high olefin content, suitable for the preparation of motor fuel and oil, is favored by a short contact time, a CO : H₂ ratio greater than 0.5, and use of Co instead of Ni catalysts.
