 1899.    ---------------.  [MURATA, Y., YOSHIOKA, Y., OJI, G., AND SAITO, S.]  Synthesis of Benzine From Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen.  LXIII.  Iron Catalysts and the Composition of Gas Used in the Synthesis.  Jour. Soc. Chem. Ind. (Japan), vol. 45, 1942, pp. 1271-1286; Chem. Abs., vol. 43, 1949, p. 2400.

        Fischer synthesis was carried out with a gas mixture of composition CO : H₂ = 2:1 with an Fe catalyst of high activity containing H₃BO₃.  The yield of oil was much smaller with gas of composition CO : H₂ = 2:1 than with composition 1:1.  The durability of the catalyst was also reduced.  Further, the relations between the composition of gas mixture after the reaction, the ratio of consumption of CO to H₂, properties of the oil obtained, the composition of the feed gas, etc., were summarized.
