452. CURRIE, W. E. (Standard-1 G. Farbenindustrie A. G.0. Forming Hydrocarbons by Hydrogenation of Carbon Oxides. United States Patent 2,209,190, July 23, 1940; appl. filed Jan. 11, 1936, Serial No. 58,772; 3 claims (Cl. 260-449). Chem. Abs. Vol. 35, 1941, p. 304.

For producing hydrocarbons such as those in the gasoline range a mixture of a C oxide and H₂ such as water gas is subjected to the action of a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst at about 380º-450º and under a total pressure of 10-20 atm. but in the presence of a sufficient volume of a diluting gas such as N₂ to insure partial pressure of the combined reactants below 5 atm.
