507. DORSCHNER, O. (American Lurgi Corp.). Recovery and Detoxication of Illuminating Gas Containing Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen. United States Patent 2,301,687, Nov. 10, 1942: appl. filed Sept. 5, 1939. Serial No. 293,487, in Germany Sept. 13, 1938; 7 claims (Cl. 260-449). Chem. Abs., vol. 37, 1943, p. 2164.

Process is employed that involves passing the gas at 150°- 400° in contact with a catalyst containing as its chief active ingredient metallic Fe and capable at such temperature of causing H₂ and CO to react in a ratio of less than 2 vol. H₂:1 vol. CO and of forming by such reaction liquid hydrocarbons and organic compounds which contain O and removing at least a portion of such substances from the gas.
