        Modern catalytic methods may often be used, advantageously to replace the older methods besides offering an explanation of the production of certain industrial hydrocarbons.  The article deals, among other things, with:  The hydrogenation of CO and CO₂ with Ni at 250°; preparation of saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons from alcohols by the Grignard reaction; hydrogenation of C_nH_2n and C_nH_2n-2 with Ni.
