                  In the synthesis of paraffins from water gas at 270° over an Fe-Cu catalyst, the same result was obtained whether a synthetic water gas was made from pure H₂ and CO or a normally purified water gas was used.  The S content of the latter had no appreciable effect.  Of 2 Cu-Co catalysts differing in S content, the one with the lower S content was the more readily deactivated.
