 1386.    HEDVALL, J. A., AND SANFORD, F.  [Effect of Ferromagnetic Transformation on the Catalytic Power of Nickel in the Reaction 2 CO=CO2+C.  III.]  Ztschr. Physik, Chem., vol. 29, B, 1935, pp. 455-463; Chem. Abs., vol. 30, 1936, p. 369.

        Four kinds of Ni catalysts were prepared and carefully analyzed for impurities.  The Curie point was determined for each.  The reaction 2 CO=CO2+C, catalyzed with this Ni, was then studied, and, as with other reactions, the rate increased sharply at the Curie point.  The effect of impurities on the reaction also was studied, as well as the condition of formation of Ni carbide and its effect on the reaction.
