 1896.    MURATA, Y., YASHIRO, R., AND TASHIRO, E.  Synthesis of Benzine From Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen.  LX.  Effect of Copper on Iron Catalysts.  Jour. Soc. Chem. Ind. (Japan), vol. 45, 1942, pp. 1117-1121; Chem. Abs., vol. 43, 1949, p. 2400.

        Cu has excellent accelerating action on the activity of Fe catalyst, and the optimum amount of Cu is different for catalysts of different compositions.  When H₃BO₃ and alkali are added, the optimum amount of Cu is about 10%.  Cu has no affect on the durability of Fe catalysts.  The composition of the feed gas has no affect on the optimum amount of Cu.  The amount of Cu has no affect on the optimum reaction temperature.  The effect of alkali on the Fe catalyst is not affected by the amount of Cu present.
