 1320.    ---------------.  [HALL, C. C.] Fischer-Tropsch Process as a Source of Synthetic Products.  Gas World, vol. 57, 1947, p. 47.

        Paper presented at the St. Andrews symposium.  This process may be used for converting coal into liquid fuels or into a variety of aliphatic products.  Only the latter application is of immediate economic interest to Great Britain.  It is believed possible to operate the process so as to produce materials of the type of hydrocarbon waxes, lubricating oils, long-chain alcohols, fatty acids, and detergents as a major proportion of the entire output with liquid fuels as relatively minor products.
