        Paper from Dr. Pier’s files on high-pressure experiments, Leuna.  A peculiar phenomenon is observed in the foam process of hydrocarbon synthesis in the disappearance of the catalyst in the liquid phase and its deposition on the reactor walls, increasing from bottom to top.  It is undesirable in that it prevents the full performance of the catalyst and reduces the available reaction space.  It is thought to be due (and an analysis gives credence to the idea) to an increasing concentration of CO₂ and steam in the upper part of the reactor and the formation of FeCO₃.
