746. FREY, U. [Catalysts for the Synthesis of Hydrocarbons From CO₂ and H₂.] French Patent 958,160. Mar. 3. 1950: appl. filed Dec. 29, 1947. Chem. Zentralb., 1951. I. p. 1406.

Catalysts consist of a mixture of 1,000 gm. white p, 100 CaO powder, 100 cu turnings, 10 mgO, and 3,000 H₂O. A mixture of 90% CO₂and H₂ is passed through the catalyst, after which the gas mixture leaving the catalyst is heated to 150º and contacted with molten S at 130º. After injection of steam the gas-steam mixture is cooled. The condensed H₂O is separated, and the gas-hydrocarbon mixture partly liquefied in a compressor at 30 atm. Gives diagram.
