        This report describes briefly the synthesis of MeOH and higher alcohols from CO and H₂; the production of synthetic detergents from the sulfonchlorides produced by the hydrogenation of Kogasin and treatment with SO₂ and Cl₂ with ultraviolet light as catalyst; the production of C₂H₄ by dehydrogenation of C₂H₆ and its polymerization to lubricating oil; the hydrogenation of coal; and the dehydrogenation of butane to butene, which is used for alkylation with H₂SO₄ as the catalyst.
