Patent Abstracts

Describes reactor that is useful, especially for hydrogenation of C₂H₂ and production of synthetic hydrocarbons. After initial heating by electric coils, gases rise in a vertical, perforated tube, and flow out to baskets filled with catalyst. The basket can be easily disassembled. A H₂O or an oil jacket keeps the exothermic reaction under control.
