1051. FLEURY, M. [Manufacture of Synthetic Methanol.] Mem. Poudres, vol. 24, 1931, pp. 10-48; Chem. Abs., vol. 25, 1931, p. 3310. Describes mechanical installation and experimental chemical work on the semi-plant-scale production of MeOH from water gas and H2 in 1922. The best catalyzers were 90% Cu, 10% ZnO, Mn and Zn chromates. High gas speed and high temperatures favored the formation of higher alcohols. FLOE, C. F. See abs. 2562. FOEHR, T. See abs. 2935. |
