Patent Abstracts

Easily boiling hydrocarbons are produced by passing a mixture of unsaturated hydrocarbons and a gas containing carbon oxide and H₂ without applying heat and at normal pressure, over a catalyzer subjected to chemically active light rays. The catalyst consists of a mixture of pure powdered electrolytic Cu, W, and pumice-stone powder treated with a dilute caustic alkaline lye and quickly dried.
