 1946a.    ---------------.  [KÖLBEL, H., AND ACKERMANN, P.]  Hydrogenation of Carbon Monoxide in Liquid Phase.  Proc. 3d World Petrol. Cong., The Hague, May-June 1951.

          Using a finely-divided Fe catalyst in the fluidized state, certain advantages were obtained which were claimed to largely meet economy requirements for the Fischer-Tropsch process.  Advantages over fixed-bed operation included faster removal of reaction heat, reduction of CH₄ formation and C deposition, reduction of reactor choking, and utilization of a gas space velocity 4-8 times higher.  Using larger reactors and smaller cooling surfaces the relative weight of the synthesis furnace as well as capital service charge were said to be reduced to ¼.
