Abstract
A process for conversion of hydrogen and carbon monoxide into hydrocarbons in the presence of an ebullient bed of catalyst comprising reduced iron oxide promoted with potassium equivalent to 2-10 pounds potassium carbonate per 1000 pounds iron oxide catalyst, and having an average particle size in the range of 100-1000 microns, wherein the catalyst is chlorided for increasing the yield of C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 range hydrocarbons.
