     Abstract of a paper presented at the 3d annual meeting of the Chemical Institute of Canada.  A preliminary report is made indicating a method and the apparatus used in the evaluation of catalysts for the reaction of CO and H2.  The apparatus consists of 6 semi-pilot-scale catalyst-testing units.  Shows some typical results.  Also describes apparatus on which the surface area, the rate of carbiding with CO, and the rate of reduction of the carbide with H2, are measured on the catalysts.
