        Ni-Mn-Al2O3 catalyst is used.  With the ratio of CO:H2 in the initial gas above 1:2.0-1:2.1 the yield of benzine and the reaction velocity can be increased by raising the temperature.  No CH4 is formed if the temperature is kept below 200°-210°.  if the H2 content of the initial gas is increased, the temperature must be lowered to suppress the CH4-synthesis reaction.  There is a linear relationship between the H2 content of the outlet gas and the I number of the benzine.  The higher the H2 content, the greater the saturation of the benzine.  The volatility of the benzine increases with higher working temperatures.
