908. GWYNN, M. H. Catalysts Suitable for use in Hydrogenating Carbon Monoxide, Hydrofining Various Oils, “Doctor Sweetening” Light Petroleum Distillates, etc. United States Patent 2,319,453, May 18, 1943: appl. filed May 31, 1940, Serial No. 338,233; 7 claims (Cl. 252-255). Chem. Abs., vol. 37, 1943, p. 6439.

Highly active hydrated and black catalytic surfaces or surface layers are prepared by treating a metal such as Co or Ni, or a readily reducible ferromagnetic alloy with an aqueous solution of a chlorite, suitably after roasting and treatment with steam. Gives numerous details of different treatments.
