1289.    GUNTERMANN, W.  [Gasification of Solid Fuels.]  Wärme, vol. 59, May 9, 1936, pp. 321-323.

       Discusses matters of interest in relation to the production of NH₃, alcohol, oil, and gasoline from substances derived wholly or partially by the gasification of fuels.  The Bubiag-Didier, the Drawe, the Winkler, the Lurgi, and the Pintsch-Hillebrand processes are characterized and the gasification prospects in relation to general gas supply, heating gas for industrial purposes, gas for synthetic processes, and for power applications are discussed.  Activity is especially pronounced in the field of syntheses, particularly as regards meeting German requirements for motor fuels.  The Bergius hydrogenation process and the Fischer synthesis of gasoline require very large quantities of gas, which can be supplied conveniently by the gasification of solid fuels.
