 1868.    TSUNEOKA, S., AND MURATA, Y.  Benzine Synthesis From Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen at Ordinary Pressure.  XXXII.  Studies on the Material of the Reaction Furnace.  Jour. Soc. Chem. Ind. (Japan), vol. 40, No. 11, suppl., 1937, pp. 438-441; Sci. Papers Inst. Phys. Chem. Research (Tokyo), vol. 33, 1937, pp. 305-312; Chem. Abs., vol. 32, 1938, p. 1426.

        Probable effect of using Fe, Ni, Cu, Al and brass furnaces on the yield of benzine has been studied by mixing small pieces of these metals with the alloy catalyst, Ni-Co-Si (1:1:2), and carrying out the synthesis in the normal manner (see abs. 1859).  The metals used did not affect the yield and exerted no catalytic effect.  It is suggested that Fe furnaces can probably be used most practicably for large-scale production.
