2789. ROBERTS, J.K. (Standard Oil Co. Of Indiana). Synthesis of Liquids From Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen. United States 2,461,570, Feb. 15, 1949; appl. filed May 3, 1947, Serial No. 745,744; 9 claims (Cl. 260-449.6). Chem. Abs., col. 43, 1949, p. 3175.

Describes method for producing liquid hydrocarbons and oxygenated organic compounds with catalyst of the Fe type, fluidized catalyst of small particle size (2-200m), and for conditioning synthesis catalyst. The synthesis gas, that contains H₂, 62 and CO₂33%, is mixed with diluent gas H₂ 20, CO 1, CO₂ 35%, and the rest CH₄) and charged into 1 of the 2 reactors (I). The H₂: CO: CO₂ ratio of the synthesis-gas stream should be 2-6: 1: 1-3. The gasiform effluent is introduced into a product recovery system. The residual gas, that leaves the product recovery system, is not introduced for the conditioning of the fresh catalyst in the other reactor (II). The catalyst is ready to go onstream with the total synthesis gas charge as soon as the catalyst activity in reactor (I) is inactive. At this point, another batch of fresh catalyst starts to be conditioned in reactor (II).
