ABSTRACT:

Various tests were conducted with a promoted, fused-iron catalyst. Hydrogen and carbon monoxide mixtures of different ratios with or without light olefin additives were reacted in a gradientless, mixed reactor.  Process and catalyst parameters investigated were temperature (250 to 325 exp 0 C), pressure (100 to 600 psig), H sub 2 :CO synthesis gas ratio (1/1 to 4/1), and catalyst particle size. Results from these experiments have been presented graphically, and observations have been discussed. (ERA citation 08:031367)
