 1921.    ---------------.  [KODAMA, S., TARAMA, K., TAKAZAWA, T., FUJITA, K., TEJIMA, T., ITO, S., ANDYOKOMAKU, Y.]  Synthesis of Gaseous Hydrocarbons From Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen.  X.  Effect of Various Carriers on the 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, and K₂CO₃ 2 parts was used with CO and H₂ (1:1.5). With active C, Murata reported that hardly any oil was produced but the authors found an increase in the volatile fractions.  With white clay the gasol yield is very small, but its composition is unusual; it is high in C₄ and C₃ hydrocarbons, and the degree of unsaturation is high, 70-85%.  Japanese acid clay increases the yield of gaseous hydrocarbons, 125% giving maximum gasol, 27.4 l. per m.³.
