       Melchett lecture for 1947 first deals with the manufacture of H₂ and of mixtures with N₂ required for making synthetic NH₃, and with CO for making synthetic MeOH.  Refers to the manufacture of synthetic fuels by the Fischer-Tropsch process and to the reactions between olefins, CO, and H₂, according to the work of Roelen and Reppe.  Considers a number of different types of reaction involving hydrogenation and describes analogous operations as carried out in the petroleum, fuel, and chemical industries.  Gives account of the manufacture of aviation fuel.
