128. BAHR, H. A. [Behavior of Water Gas on Various Catalysts; Contribution to the Equilibrium 6CO2+C6H6=12CO+3H2] Ges. Abhandl. Kenntnis, Kohle, vol. 8, 1929, pp. 217-219; Chem. Zentralb., 1929, II, p. 3263; Chem. Abs., vol. 24, 1930, p. 5207. Heating a mixture of CO2 and C6H6 vapor with various metallic catalysts to 550°-750° led only to the formation of traces of CO in the final gas. The gas mixture of 4CO+H2 heated on the same catalysts to 200°-800° did not show a reaction; only when ZnO+0.5% Fe2O3 was employed as a catalyst, the formation of 24% CO2 produced by decomposition of CO on Fe was observed. |
