Patent Abstracts

Process is applicable to the production of MeOH and other alcohols, of liquid hydrocarbon and organic oxycompounds, in the presence of finely divided catalysts suspended in the gases in such a manner that the mixture of gas and catalyst is passed from bottom to top through comparatively narrow tubes (12.7-20.3 mm. Diameter) cooled from without by means of liquids. By such means virtually the entire heat of reaction can be immediately removed.
