Literature Abstracts

Two new catalysts of Fe base were prepared: (I) is composed of Fe 4, Cu 1, kieselguhr 5 and K₂CO₃ 0.09. (II) consists of Fe 4, Cu 1, Mn 0.08, kieselguhr 5 and K₂CO₃ 0.09. Solutions of Fe(NO₃)₃, Cu(NO₃)₂ and accelerator were mixed with unpurified kieselguhr and precipitated with an equivalent solution of alkali carbonate in the cold. The precipitate was filtered on a porcelain filter, washed with warm H₂O, impregnated with a small amount of alkali, dried in air at 100° and pulverized. With (I) a gasoline yield of 83 cc. per m.³ and I number 141.0 is possible. (II) produced a yield of 8 cc. per m.³ of gasoline having an I number of 132. The Fe catalyst is cheaper than Co and Ni catalysts, and with it water gas can be used directly as a starting material. A reaction temperature of 250° is required as compared with 200ck for Co and Ni catalysts, and its durability is slightly lower.
