     Precipitated Fe-Cu-ThO₂-K₂CO₃-marshallite catalyst was shown to have a rather high effectiveness in the synthesis of hydrocarbons from water gas at 250° and atmospheric pressure.  The best catalyst contained a 1:2 ratio of ThO₂:K₂CO₃, which was used in 2% amount relative to Fe.  Yields of solid paraffins as high as 13.6% are reported.
