 1905.    KODAMA, S., MURATA, Y., AND HARA, I.  Gasoline Synthesis From Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen.  LXXI.  Activity and Deactivation of Iron Catalysts.  Jour. Soc. Chem. Ind. (Japan), vol. 50, 1947, pp. 119-120; Chem. Abs., vol. 44, 1950, p. 9135.

       Gasoline was synthesized 29 hr. from CO and H₂ in a molecular ratio of 1:1 at 250° with (A) Fe+12.8% Cu or (B) Fe+25% Cu+152% kieselguhr.  The addition of K₂CO₃ and H₃BO₃ increased the activity of these catalysts.  The optimum amount of K₂CO₃ was 1% for (A) and 2% for (B).
