 1919.    ---------------.  [KODAMA, S., TARAMA, K., TAKAZAWA, T., FUJITA, K., TEJIMA, T., ITO, S., ANDYOKOMAKU, Y.]  Synthesis of Gaseous Hydrocarbons From Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen.  VIII.  Effect of Composition of the Synthesis Gas on Iron Catalysts.  Jour. Soc. Chem. Ind. (Japan), vol. 48, 1945, pp. 3-8; Chem. Abs., vol. 43, 1949, p. 2398.

       Catalysts of Fe, 100; Cu, 25; diatomaceous earth, 125, and K₂CO₃, 2 parts was used at 270° over a period of 6 hr.  For the gasol synthesis the optimum CO:H₂ ratio is 50-60; 50-40.  For the least CH₄ production the ratio is 1:1.  For maximum gasol production with least CH₄ the ratio is 1:1.5.  In view of the life of catalyst the optimum ratio is 1:1.5.
