Synthesis of Hydrocarbons From Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen. United States Patent 2,224,048, Dec. 3, 1940; appl. filed Nov. 24, 1937, Serial No. 176,373, in Germany Dec. 2, 1936; 10 claims (Cl. 260-449). Chem. Abs., vol. 35, 1941, p. 1970. In the production of hydrocarbons by the catalytic conversion of gases containing CO and H2 at temperatures below 300°, with catalysts suitable for forming benzine, hydrocarbon oil, and paraffin from such gases and temperatures and at atmospheric pressure, catalysts are used consisting of hyrdrogenating metals such as Co, difficulty reducible metal compounds such as Th oxide, and carrier substances such as kieselguhr, which constitute at least half the weight of the catalysts, and a mixture of CO and H2 is used containing over 20% of inert constituents with a pressure of over 2 atm. |
