2209.     ---------------.  [MATTHEWS, M. A., AND WOOD, W. L.]  Production of Alcohols and Ketones From Olefins at the Triebstoffwerk, Rheinpreussen.  BIOS Final Rept. 131, 1946, 12 pp., PB 18,926; Fuel Abs., vol. 3, No. 5, 1946, Abs. 2315.

        Waste gases from the Fischer-Tropsch plant were used as raw material, but, owing to the great need for synthetic gasoline, expansion of this work did not receive official sanction as it appears that synthetic gasoline was more urgently needed than synthetic alcohol.  The same situation arose when a proposal was made by the Treibstoffwerk to crack part of their product to gaseous olefins or to run the Fischer-Tropsch reaction with a reduced H₂ partial pressure.
