3087.----- [RUHRCHEMIE, A. G.] [Process for Removing Alchols and the Like Oxygenated Compounds From the Primary Synthesis Product.] German Patent Appl. R 110,690, R 582, filed July 30, 1941 (Cl. IV d-23 b). FIAT Reel K-20, frames 207-213; PB 70,211; TOM Reel 177, frames 1,629-1,635; Tom Reel 36, bag 3,454, item 36; Meyer Transl. PC-S-II, Fischer-Tropsch, vol. 1, ch. 39, 1948, p. 96.

Process as described consists in intimately mixing the primary synthesis product from the hydrogenation of CO at temperatures of 100° or < with a hydroscopic metal salt such as Zn, Ca, or Mg Chloride and then separating the addition compound from the supernatant mixture of hydrocarbons ( by distillation ordecantation).
