Abstract
Higher molecular weight hydrocarbons of from C.sub.2 to C.sub.7 carbon number are prepared from CO and H.sub.2 by the method of passing the CO and H.sub.2 at a ratio of from 10-0.1, a space velocity of from 100 hr.sup.-1 to 50,000 hr.sup.-1 over a bulk nickel catalyst promoted with from 0.001 to 25 wt. % titanium containing oxide (calculated as TiO.sub.2), for a time sufficient to effect the generation of the desired hydrocarbon products, at a temperature of from 100.degree. to 500.degree. C. and a pressure of from 103 to 1.03.times.10.sup.5 kPa. The hydrocarbon products obtained are clean, stable paraffin liquids. The activity of the instant process employing titanium promoted bulk nickel is from 3 to 5 times that of the process employing bulk nickel.
