Abstract
THE recent observation of Arthur1, who found that the CO/(CO + CO2) ratio in the products of combustion of carbon in air at 800° C. was greatly increased by addition of chlorine or its compounds, is extended by results obtained in these laboratories during the past six months. We have worked at 800°–1,000° C. with undried gases, and find that:
