 1924.    ---------------.  [KODAMA, S., TARAMA, K., TAKAZAWA, T., FUJITA, K., TEJIMA, T., ITO, S., ANDYOKOMAKU, Y.]  Synthesis of Gaseous Hydrocarbons From Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen.  XIII.  Effect of Temperature at Constant Pressure.  Jour. Soc. Chem. Ind. (Japan), vol. 48, 1945, pp. 3-8; Chem. Abs., vol. 43, 1949, p. 2399.

        Elevation of temperature increases the yield of lower hydrocarbons and therefore increases the yield of gasol, but increased yields of CH₄ also occur because of the increase in the reactivity of H₂.  Thus an increase in gasol by the elevation of temperature without an increase in CH₄ cannot be expected.  The optimum temperature range for gasol synthesis is 270°-320°.
