667. ------. [FISCHER, F.] [Hydrocarbons From Methane.] German Patent 578,311, June 12, 1933; appl. F 66,881, filed Sept. 23, 1928 (Cl. 12 o-1.03). FIAT Reel AA-90, frames 1,442-1,446; PB 70,275; Chem. Abs., vol. 27, 1933, p. 4239.

CH₄ is heated to >1,000º in a regenerative apparatus, which is alternatively heated by combustion gases and cooled by the CH₄. The period during which the CH₄ is heated is preferably <1sec. The apparatus should be lined and packed with material that does not promote the deposition of C. for example, silica gel C₂H₂, olefins, and liquid hydrocarbons of the benzene type are obtained. Gives examples.
