Abs., vol. 39, 1945, p. 3895. For a given product to be obtained in satisfactory yield, good temperature control of the reaction is essential, and to avoid poisoning of the catalyst, S should be removed from the reactants. Various methods for the production of high-antiknock hydrocarbons are discussed. The nature of the products varies widely with temperature, pressure, and nature of catalyst used. |
