Patent Abstracts

Hydrocarbons corresponding to the general formula C₂H₂+CH₄ coming from the combustion and distillation in a gas producer or the like apparatus are polymerized for the production of a fuel by heating to about 80º in the presence of a catalyst having a basis of CeSO₄. The catalyst is prepared by roasting monazite, treating with acid, neutralizing, taking up several times with acid, and evaporating, after which the residue added to a solution of CoSO₄ is electrolyzed.
