628. EVERING, B. L., AND PETERS, E. F. (Standard Oil Co. of Indiana). Conversion of Olefins, Carbon Monoxide, and Hydrogen. United States Patent 2,606,939. Aug. 12, 1952; appl. filed June 25, 1949. Serial No. 101,462; 9 claims (Cl. 260-683.15).

Process for the conversion of an olefin. CO, and H₂ to a predominantly straight chain, normally liquid olefinic hydrocarbon containing more C atoms per molecule than the original olefin and boiling substantially within the gasoline boiling range. It comprises contacting a feed stock made up of the olefin and 5-40 vol. % of a mixture of H₂ and CO having a mol ratio of H₂ :CO=0.5:10 with an alkali-promoted (0.5% K₂O) Fe catalyst at about 350º-425º and 250-1,500 p. s. i. g.
