✦ Synopsis
The melting and wetting behaviour of various alkali compounds (carbonates: Li,CO,, Na&O,, K2C03, Cs,CO,; halides: KF, KCI, KBr, NaCI; single potassium salts: KNO,, K2S04) without and with additives (V,O,, FeS04.7H20) on a polished surface of a polycrystalline graphite of high purity was studied during heating at 4 K min-' to 900°C in different atmospheres. It was found that all those catalyst raw materials which showed catalytic activity in earlier studies are low-melting and wet the graphite surface. This is esbeciallv true of mixtures of alkali chlorides (NaCI, KCI) with V205 and of K2S04 with FeS0,.7H;O or other iron salts.

S. A.). Controlled atmosphere electron microscopy examinations have shown that both tungsten and rhenium are active catalysts for the graphite-oxygen reaction, although the former exhibits only marginal activity. Of the two materials, only rhenium is effective in catalyzing the gasification of graph
Previously it was shown that certain mixtures of K2S04 and FeSO, were excellent raw materials for catalytic watervapourgasification of carbon. It was suggested from the results that the iron salt catalyses the reduction of K2S04 to K as the main catalyticly active species of gasification. This paper
