Experimental apparatus and procedure and the catalysts used are described. Experimental results are reported for reductions under the following conditions: (1) 197°, (2) 197° and 203°, and (3) 197° and 228°, with 32.9% CO and 63.8% H₂ in the raw gas for (1) and (2) and 32.7% CO and 64.5% H₂ for (3). The catalysts for the 3 runs had the compositions: Co:Cu:Th=8:1:0.3 for (1), and Co:Cu:ThO=9:1:2 for (2) and (3). Gasoline yields varied 50-65 mg. per l. of gas for (1), 51-76 mg. per l. for (2) and 36-115 mg. per l. for (3). Material balances for 2 runs are appended.
