3700.     WILLCOX, O. W.  Cheap Oxygen Is Major Factor in United States.  Fischer-Tropsch Adaptation World Petrol., vol. 18, 1947, 7th Ann. Refinery Issue, pp. 78-79, 104.

        Value of cheap O₂ to the coal, steel, and oil industries is noted, and particular mention is made of the changes that have been effected by it in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis technique.  The development of the Linde, Fränkl-Linde, and M-7 (National Defense Research Committee and M. W. Kellogg Co.) processes for the manufacture of O₂ from air is outlined, and the advantages of the latter process are emphasized.  A brief description of the Stanolind plant in Kansas is given, and the estimated costs of O₂ produced at this plant and at the Hydrocol plant in Texas are compared with recent estimates of costs at small O₂ plants.
