ABSTRACT:

The second volume includes appendices. Experimental techniques are presented: catalyst preparation and characterization (by ESCA, magnetic susceptibility and STEM), catalyst testing, chromatographic techniques, methanol decomposition, technology of synthesis under pressure from CO and H/sub 2/. Catalyst precursors in spinel phase and hydroxycarbonate phase obtained by coprecipitation are described. Transformation of hydroxycarbonates into mixed oxides by thermal activation is presented.  Distribution obtained in Fisher -Tropsch synthesis is explained by mathematical equations in stationary and non stationary states.
