        Modern catalytic methods may often be used, advantageously to replace the older methods besides offering an explanation of the production of certain industrial hydrocarbons.  The article deals, among other things, with:  The hydrogenation of CO and CO2 with Ni at 250°; preparation of saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons from alcohols by the Grignard reaction; hydrogenation of CnH2n and CnH2n-2 with Ni.
