1694. ------. [INTERNATIONAL HYDROCARBON SYNTHESIS CO.] [Process for Converting Carbon Monoxide by Means of Hydrogen.] French Patent 896,627, Feb. 27, 1945; appl. filed July 20, 1943. Chim. et ind, vol. 56, 1946, p. 213.

CO is converted to hydrocarbons by H₂ in presence of a catalyst prepared by fusing Fe and alkali in a stream of O₂ and by reducing the magnetic oxide thus formed by H₂. The activity of the catalyst can be increased by adding AS or Sb thereto.
