Patent Abstracts

Process for the production of normally solid hydrocarbons of the paraffin series by thermal conversion of CO and H₂in the gaseous phase in the presence of a solid catalyst and under a pressure ranging from atmospheric pressure to 50 atm. involves continuously passing the catalyst through the reaction space, then freeing it at least partly from solid paraffin hydrocarbons deposited on it, and then supplying it again to the reaction space.
