 1755.    KIMURA, O.  Hydrogenation and Polymerization Reaction of Acetylene.  I.  Reaction in Liquid Phase and the Effect of High-Tension Discharge.  Bull. Chem. Soc. Japan, vol. 18, 1943, pp. 1-12.  Chem. Abs., vol. 41, 1947, p. 4436.

        Polymerization and hydrogenation reactions of C₂H₂ were studied in liquid paraffin in the presence of such catalysts as Ni, Co, Pd, and Ca.  The polymerization reaction occurs more easily than hydrogenation.  To avoid this defect in the process of obtaining liquid fuel from C₂H₂, high-tension discharge was applied to activate the H₂; the products were mainly liquid hydrocarbons.
