 1350.    ---------------.  [HAMAI, S., HAYASHI, S., AND SHIMAMURA, K.] Physicochemical Investigations of Catalytic Mechanisms.  IX.  Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis of Hydrocarbons, With Special Reference to Factors Essential to the Particular Catalysts.  Bull. Chem. Soc. Japan, vol. 17, 1942, pp. 463-477; Chem. Abs., vol. 41, 1947, p. 4367.

        Effects of the factors are tabulated, including the composition of the catalysts (Co, U₃O₈, Cu, Mn, and kieselguhr), preactivation temperature, and reaction temperature for the reaction mixture of CO+H₂.  The presence of kieselguhr contributes to the oil formation, but not the CH₄ formation.  Generally higher temperature promotes the formation of gaseous products, such as CH₄ and CO₂, and a very small amount of oil formation.
