 1559.    INSLEY, E. G.  Study of Finely Divided Metals and a Method for Their Preparation.  Jour. Phys. Chem., vol. 39, 1935, pp. 623-636; Chem. Abs., vol. 29, 1935, p. 5327.

       Adsorption of H, C₂H₄ and C₂H₆ was determined at 0° and compared with the rate of hydrogenation of C₂H₄ and Cu, Ni, Co, and Fe catalysts prepared from both the oxides and the amalgams.  Ni, Co, and Fe, but not Cu catalysts prepared from amalgams, showed hydrogenating activity as high as those prepared from the oxides.  The adsorption of H₂ on Ni was studied over the temperature range –80°-150°.
