235. ---------------. [ BERTHELOT, C.] [Synthetic Liquid Fuels Resulting From Reduction of Carbon Monoxide by Hydrogen; Methanol, Fischer Gasoline.] Chim. et Ind., vol. 37, 1937, pp. 211-223; Chem. Abs., vol. 31, 1937, p. 4083. General description, discussion and comparison of the relative merits of the production of MeOH and of Fischer gasoline, respectively, by the action of H2 on CO under various conditions. The choice between hydrogenation and these synthetic processes for the production of motor fuel depends largely on the nature and quality of the raw material available. The position in France is briefly discussed. |
