        Products of the reaction were gases, oils and an aqueous solution.  Composition of the gases varied widely.  With a Co catalyst there was a little CO₂ and some hydrocarbons together with unchanged CO and H₂ but with Ni catalysts the hydrocarbons varied 6-35%.  80% of the oils distilled below 200° and the normal paraffins from C₅ to C₁₁ were identified.  The use of Ni catalysts gave over 90% saturated hydrocarbons while Co gave up to 57% olefins.  No aromatic hydrocarbons or naphthenes could be detected.  The higher the boiling point of a fraction the less olefin it contained.  Investigation of the aqueous solution showed small amounts of aldehydes, alcohols, acids, and ketones.
