       Catalysts Ni-Th, Ni-Th-Hg, and Ni-Mg were best for the production of gasoline from CO and H₂, yielding under the most favorable conditions 0.1 gm. of gasoline per l. gas passed, that is, 30-40% on the converted CO, this yield being raised to 98-100% on recycling.  By the proper selection of the catalysts and the process conditions, a product high in unsaturated compounds can be obtained.  26 refs.
