Abstract
Substantially C.sub.2 + alkane hydrocarbons are produced from mixtures of CO and H.sub.2 by contacting same, at elevated temperature, with a catalyst comprising a mixture of iron carbide and ilmenite supported on titania wherein the ratio of the iron present in said supported iron carbide and ilmenite, calculated as Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3, to the surface area of the titania support ranges from about 2.times.10.sup.-3 to 25.times.10.sup.-3 grams per square meter.
