SECTION I (C)
1. General Introduction.
The attempts to convert CO2 with H2 is not at all new, but it is of interest to note that the Germans obtained fair results using the identical catalyst as in the FT synthesis.
The work was carried out at the “Kaiser-Wilhelm Institut” in Muelheim (KWI). The catalyst used was described in detail in Section 18. It had been carbided at 1/10 atm. with CO at 325° C. Alkalized and nonalkalized catalyst was used.
Since the temperature of the synthesis must be rather high, the product is usually methane and a few g/m3 gasol. In fact the method was product is usually methane and a few g/m3 gasol. In fact the method was considered of interest mainly for the production of a standard city gas.
