1841. ---------------. [KODAMA, S.] Catalytic Reduction of Carbon Monoxide Under Ordinary Pressure. III. Preparation of Liquid Hydrocarbons With a Cobalt-Copper-Thoria Catalyst. Jour. Soc. Chem. Ind. (Japan), vol. 32, suppl., 1929, pp. 285-286; Sci. Papers Inst. Phys. Chem. Research (Tokyo), vol. 12, 1930, pp. 211-224; Chem. Age, vol. 27, 1929, p. 406; Chem. Abs., vol. 24, 1930, p. 2036.
Reaction begins at 160°; liquid products were observed. The best temperature is 252°; at higher temperature the greater part of the CO decomposed becomes CO2 and CH4 hydrocarbons, and there is little oil formation. The reaction temperature is lower than that given in the literature. At 248°, 84.4 l. of the gas mixture at a velocity of 5 l. per hr. gave 3.85 cm.3 H2O, 0.45 cm.3 petroleum, and 0.4 cm.3 benzine.
