The olefin/paraffin ratio of the products at all carbon numbers was less than that with a reduced fused magnetite catalyst containing 0.4 to 0.8 wt % K/sub 2/O and the ..beta..-olefin/..cap alpha..-olefin ratio was much greater. Secondary hydrogenation and olefin isomerization reactions appear to be much more significant with the Mn/Fe catalyst. With both catalysts the Flory distribution was followed but in each case two values of the chain growth probability, ..cap alpha.., were found, with a sharp increase above about C/sub 11/. Values of ..cap alpha.. based on the C/sub 1/-C/sub 10/ products were less for the Mn/Fe catalyst than for the fused magnetite catalyst, attributed to the absence of potassium in the Mn/Fe catalyst. The activity of the present Mn/Fe catalyst was moderately less than that reported for a similar catalyst studied elsewhere in a bubble column.
