VERY IMPORTANT IDEA C.F. BELOW *** The references below should be related to the data in Scientific American Magazine Vol. 101 july to Dec 1909 on page 328 " Coal gas has been reacted on Cr2O3, on Fe2O3 and especially on Bi2O3 to form ammonia. The process bubbles air and coal gas through water at 176 degrees F. ; then applies the gas vapor mixture to these catalysts which are heated to 570 F ---> 660 F ( try catalysts listed below)| | Experiment: use methane (biogas) and air and feed NH3 to yeast as | their only nitrogen source | | ---------------------------------------------------UnCover--------------V----- AUTHOR(s): Berg, M.
