        Study of the influence of BeO, MgO, ZnO and Cd on the Co-Cu catalyst for the synthesis of petroleum hydrocarbons from water gas at atmospheric pressure has shown that MgO is the best accelerator, being most active at 240° and giving the highest yields.  BeO is most active at 260°; however, the yields are small.  ZnO is the poorest accelerator, the reaction starting at 260°.  Cd completely destroys the activity of Co.
