2116. MARISIC, M. M. (Socony-Vacuum Oil Co.). Production of Gases Containing Hydrogen and Carbon Monoxide. United States Patent 2,430,432, Nov. 4, 1947; appl. filed Apr. 19, 1944, Serial No. 531,816; 5 claims (Cl. 23-212). Chem. Abs., vol. 42, 1948, p. 1411.

Impregnation of porous glass with hydrogenation metals, such as Ni, Co, etc., results in catalysts that are better hydrogenation catalysts than the corresponding impregnated silica gels. They are also more rugged and can withstand higher temperatures for longer periods of time. Materials such as Li₂O, MgO, Al₂O₃, ZrO₂, SnO₂, MoO₃, V₂O₅, etc. have been found to be effective promoters. 5 United States patent references cited.
