513. DRESSLER, R. G., AND BIRCHER, J. R. (The United States of America, as represented by the secretary of the Interior). Utilizing the Aqueous, Organic Chemical Wastes From the Fischer-Tropsch Process. United States Patent 2,574,469, Nov. 13, 1951. Chem. Abs., vol. 46, 1952. p. 2271.

Aqueous solution of the oxygenated organic compounds obtained as byproducts of the Fischer-Tropsch process if fractionated to yield an overhead product (I) containing alcohols, aldehydes, and ketones in a fairly concentrated aqueous solution, and a bottoms product, which contains most of the organic acids in a dilute aqueous solution and which is evaporated and fed to a gasifier where the organic acids are converted to CO and steam for recycle to the process. (I) is treated to recover its organic content in a valuable form.
