3260. SCHEUERMANN, A., MEISENHEIMER, K., AND KOTZSCHMAR, A. (Standard Catalytic Co.). Hydrocarbons From Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen. United States Patent 2,274,639, mar. 3, 1942; appl. filed Mar. 1, 1940, serial No. 321,692; in Germany, Feb. 11, 1939; 8 claims (Cl. 260-449). Chem.. Abs., vol. 36, 1942, p. 4320.

Hydrocarbons containing more than 1 C atom are produced with use of Co-containing catalysts, in the preparation of which a reducible Co compound, such as the carbonate, is gradually precipitated from a solution of a Co salt, such as Co(NO₃)₂, during a period at least of 3 hr., suitably by use of K₂CO₃ and in the presence of diatomaceous earth.
