Abstract

A method is suggested to produce paraffin hydrocarbons from carbon oxides and hydrogen in the presence of catalyst. A mixture of carbon oxides and hydrogen at normal or reduced pressure is passed over nickel, cobalt or iron, or over a mixture of the said metals with other substances, for example, copper, zinc oxide, chromium or carbonate of alkali metals. The process temperature is lower then that needed for methane production. Otherwise, the process is carried out at a temperature of methane synthesis, but the gas flow rates are increased.
