3585.     VORBACH, -----.  [Experiments With Silica Gel as a Carrier for Cobalt Catalysts in the Synthesis of Gasoline From Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen.]  FIAT Reel R-20, June 3, 1940, frames 7537-7540; PB 73,564.

        Report from the I. G. Ammonia Laboratory, Oppau, deals with experiments to determine the influence of the size of pores in silica gel used as a carrier substance in the synthesis of gasoline.  It is obvious that the size of pores is important.  Small-size silica gel ignited at 1,000° proved to be an easily reproducible carrier substance, which can fully replace diatomaceous earth in synthesizing gasoline from CO and H₂.
