        Digest of certain phases of Japanese research in the field of synthetic liquid fuel.  The potentialities of Ni as a substitute for Co for the synthesis of hydrocarbons from CO and H₂ were investigated.  Extended experiments were carried out to determine the durability of Fe catalysts, to study the yield and quality of the products, and to evaluate Fe catalysts as a potential substitute for Co catalysts in the hydrocarbon synthesis.  The experimental procedure and the operating data are presented in considerable detail.
