Polymerization of Gaseous Paraffins and Olefins oK NOWLEDGE of the reactions involved in the pyrolytic decomposition and polymerization of gaseous hydrocarbons isfundamental for an understanding of the means by which these hydrocarbons may be converted to higher boiling liquids.The literature dealing with the thermal decomposition of paraffins (and olefins) is extensive and has been reviewed by Egloff, Schaad, and Lowry (3).The literature dealing with the polymerization of olefins at superatmospheric pressure is meager, but mention should be made of the early work of Ipatieff (4), and the later investigations of Stanley ( 7), Nash, Stanley, and Bowen (5), Pease (6), Waterman and Tulleners (8), and the very informative articles -by Dunstan, Hague, and
