 1940.    KÖLBEL, H.  [Content of Cobalt and Diatomaceous Earth in Gasoline Synthesis Catalysts.]  FIAT Reel K-30, frames 7454-7467, Mar. 9, 1938; PB 73,587.

        Test results on the influence of the Co and diatomaceous earth content on the efficiency of gasoline synthesis catalysts are discussed.  It was found that a reduction of the Co and its replacement by a correspondingly larger quantity of diatomaceous earth exceeding the ratio 1:1 diminishes the yield of liquid products.  Furthermore, with a constant quantity of CO and a constant flow velocity of the gas, an increase of the Co:diatomaceous earth ratio beyond 1:1 up to 1:1.2 does not improve the catalyst.  By the use of catalysts poorer in diatomaceous earth the capacity of the catalyst space increased by 40-60%, as compared with catalysts now in use.
