 1784.    KLEMM, R.  [Fused-Iron Catalyst for Carbon Monoxide-Hydrogen Synthesis.]  TOM Reel 278, item 2, 44 pp.; PB 82,353; FIAT Rept. 1267, Supp., 1949, 39 pp.; PB 97,368 S.

        Summary of observations and experience gained during 8 years of experimentation with the development of fused Fe catalysts used in CO-H₂ synthesis under high pressure and temperature.  The catalysts discussed were produced by fusing Fe and the additives in a stream of O₂.  Microscopic examination is described in detail.  The effect of basic and acidic additives and of lattice displacement and disturbance on the effectiveness and yield of the catalysts is studied.  The most advantageous location of the additive in the lattice is given.  The results obtained with various catalysts of this type are presented.
