1861. KITA, G. Catalyst for the Production of Gasoline. British Patent 529,390, Nov. 20, 1940. Chem. Abs., vol. 35, 1941, p. 8259.

Substance consisting mainly of hydroxides and/or carbonates of Fe and Cu is precipitated by an alkali from salts of those elements upon diatomaceous earth. To the substance thus formed a little alkali as well as boric acid or its salts is added. When a mixture of CO and H₂ is brought into reaction in the presence of this catalyst held at 225°, gasoline is produced.
