            Yield of H₂ and CO by the catalytic treatment of hydrocarbons is increased by removing organic as well as inorganic S compounds from the gases before treatment, for example, by passing them over a metallic mass, which will fix the S compounds or convert them into H₂S.  In the conversion of the hydrocarbons elongated catalyst chambers made of Cr or Ni steel or alloys of Ni such as Cr-Ni are used, the walls of which are heated to <1,000º.
