Abstract
A homogeneous process for preparing hydrocarbons from CO and H.sub.2 O, D.sub.2 O or T.sub.2 O employing a soluble ruthenium catalyst. The process comprises contacting CO and H.sub.2 O, D.sub.2 O or T.sub.2 O in the presence of a homogeneous aqueous solution containing a catalytically effective amount of a water-soluble ruthenium compound and heating the solution to temperatures of from 200.degree. to 500.degree. C. at pressures of from 0.1 to 100 MPa, the products are C.sub.9 to C.sub.60 hydrocarbons.
