739.    D’OUVILLE, E. L. AND HOWE, K. E.  Use of Thermal Conductivity Cells for Gas Analysis in Studying the Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis of Hydrocarbons.  Petrol. Refiner, vol. 26, No. 6, 1947, pp. 526-531.

     Method is described with the help of 11 figs. for analysis of both synthesis gas and product gas from a bench-scale Co-catalyst Fischer-Tropsch unit.  A single thermal conductivity cell unit is used for binary mixtures and for other mixtures that can be so considered.  For complex mixtures of as many as 5 components a multiple cell unit is described.  A complete description of the cells, auxiliary equipment, and technique is given.  The advantages and limitations of the method are discussed with special reference to Fischer-Tropsch gases.
