Fe is fused with alkalies in a stream of O₂. The ferro-ferric oxide is reduced and AS or Sb or their compounds are added. The products consist mainly of saturated hydrocarbons with small amounts of O₂-containing products. The efficiency of the catalyst is increased considerably at normal or slightly increased pressure.
