Catalysts with 7-20 parts K₂CO₃ and other components, as given above, were compared in medium-pressure petroleum synthesis to determine the optimum composition. The catalysts containing 7-10 parts K₂CO₃ gave the best yield of oil. The rate of consumption of CO compared to H₂, the amount of solid paraffin produced, and the degree of unsaturation of oil produced all increased with the increase in the amount of K₂CO₃ added. By trial, the best reaction temperature was found to be 230°-250°.
