 1586.    IVANOV, K. I., AND GUSEV, V. I.  [Properties of Zinc-Chromium Catalysts for the Synthesis of Methanol.]  Jour. Chem. Ind. (U.S.S.R.), vol. 12, 1935, pp. 1143-1146.  Chem. Abs., vol. 30, 1936, p. 1525.

       When a catalyst of 8ZnO . 1.5Cr₂O₃ is first used, it is most efficient at 370°, but as its use is continued, the optimum temperature rises slowly to 400°.  Very high rates of passing the gas over it favor MeOH formation, while low rates of passing the gas, or temperatures above 400°, begin to favor CH₄ formation.
