 1923.    ---------------.  [KODAMA, S., TARAMA, K., TAKAZAWA, T., FUJITA, K., TEJIMA, T., ITO, S., ANDYOKOMAKU, Y.]  Synthesis of Gaseous Hydrocarbons From Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen.  XII.  Effect of Pressure.  Jour. Soc. Chem. Ind. (Japan), vol. 48, 1945, pp. 3-8; Chem. Abs., vol. 43, 1949, p. 2399.

        On use of a catalyst of Fe+25% Cu on 125% diatomaceous earth at 5-20 kg. per cm.², the yield of gasol and the rate of reaction show maximum values at 15 kg. per cm.²  With the same catalyst+2% K₂CO₃ on 125% white clay at 5-40 kg. per cm.², there was no change in the yield of oil.  The gasol yield and rate of reaction were maximum at 15 kg. per cm.²  No satisfactory explanation of the effect of pressure was made.  The optimum pressure range was approximately 15-20 kg. per cm.² with a gasol yield of 30 l. per m.³
