A review relates the products from various catalytic systems including promoters, that may be useful in the catalytic conversion of carbon monoxide derived from coal into methane, higher hydrocarbons, alcohols, or other oxygenated species, with specific emphasis on Fischer--Tropsch synthesis and isosynthesis (to saturated branched hydrocarbons); discusses the effectiveness of iron, nickel, cobalt, and ruthenium catalysts for the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis; and evaluates some useful catalysts, e.g., potassium oxide-promoted thoria, for isosynthesis.
