 1893.    MURATA, Y., TATSUKI, Y., YAMADA, H., AND SAWADA, Y.  Synthesis of Benzine From Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen.  LVII.  Effect of Some Added Substances on Iron-Copper Catalysts.  Jour. Soc. Chem. Ind. (Japan), vol. 45, 1942, pp. 557-560, suppl., pp. 229-232; Chem. Abs., vol. 43, 1949, p. 2399.

         Effect of organic acids and other compounds on Fe-Cu catalysts was studied.  With Fe catalysts the results were as follows:  (1) K2C2O4, HCO2K, KOH, K2CO3, and KNO3 accelerated the action, and the optimum amount of each is about 1.5% as K.  (2) Organic acids were injurious.  (3) Cr(NO3)3, CfF3, Cr2(CO3)3, and Cr(OAc)3 were injurious to the catalyst but Cr2O3 was not.  (4) Zn(NO3)2, ZnO, Z3(PO4)2, Zn(OAc)2), and Zn stearate were injurious, but Zn(OH)2 was not.  Because of the action of H3BO3 Zn borate had an accelerating action.
