2187. MARTIN, P. T. Synthesis Gas From Coal. Min. Cong. Jour., vol. 36, No. 2, 1950, pp. 55-58; Chem. Ind., vol. 66, No. 3, 1950, pp. 365-372. Reviews all processes that have been or are being tried in producing synthesis gas for the production of synthetic liquid fuels. The process most favored appears to be that of utilizing continuous gasification of powdered coal in suspension with O2 and steam. With present O2 prices, it is the opinion that synthesis gas can be produced today at about $0.15/M cu. ft. from coal at $2.00/ton. MARTIN, R. See abs. 2461. MARTIN, R. M. See abs. 750. MARTIN, W.
