Fe catalysts should be heated for 2 hr. at 700° before use to give them the greatest stability. Co catalysts are very active but are mechanically weak. Addition of MgO strengthens them but lowers their activity. Siderite is a good catalyst, but it loses its activity on prolonged use. The loss may be prevented by addition of 0.7% by wt. of K₂Cr₂O; to siderite that has been heated for 6 hr. at 500°-525°. Such a catalyst gives 94-96% conversion. Addition of too much K₂Cr₂O₇ weakens the catalyst. H₂S lowers its activity. Titanomagnetite, Fe chromite, and bauxite are unsatisfactory as catalysts.
