288. ---------------. [BONE, W. A.] High-Pressure Reactions. Trans. Inst. Chem. Eng., (London) vol. 8, 1930, pp. 98-106; Chem. Abs., vol. 26, 1932, p. 1168. Recent applications of pressure in promoting useful chemical changes are reviewed with particular emphasis on the synthesis of NH3 and catalytic syntheses from CO and H2 mixtures. The influence of pressure upon gaseous explosions of CO-air and H-air mixtures and the N2 activation in CO-air explosions are also considered. Describes and illustrates equipment for a high-pressure research laboratory. |
