 1899.    ---------------.  [MURATA, Y., YOSHIOKA, Y., OJI, G., AND SAITO, S.]  Synthesis of Benzine From Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen.  LXIII.  Iron Catalysts and the Composition of Gas Used in the Synthesis.  Jour. Soc. Chem. Ind. (Japan), vol. 45, 1942, pp. 1271-1286; Chem. Abs., vol. 43, 1949, p. 2400.

        Fischer synthesis was carried out with a gas mixture of composition CO : H2 = 2:1 with an Fe catalyst of high activity containing H3BO3.  The yield of oil was much smaller with gas of composition CO : H2 = 2:1 than with composition 1:1.  The durability of the catalyst was also reduced.  Further, the relations between the composition of gas mixture after the reaction, the ratio of consumption of CO to H2, properties of the oil obtained, the composition of the feed gas, etc., were summarized.
