Bayermasse, Luxmasse, and Lautamasse were different mixtures of iron oxide with various impurities; they all arose as by-products of aluminium manufacture by various processes. Lautamasse arose by use of an old process in which bauxite was treated in a soda-melt at 600 to 700/sup 0/C and atmospheric pressure, whereas Bayermasse arose by use of a newer process in which sodium hydroxide at 7 atm. pressure and 200/sup 0/C was used. Thus Bayermasse retained more of the iron from the bauxite and was oxidic, whereas Lautamasse and Luxmasse and bog iron ore were all hydroxidic. This fact made Luxmasse and Lautamasse better as catalysts than Bayermasse, even though Bayermasse was cheaper to obtain. At the time, Leuna was using a mixture of 40% bog iron ore and 60% Bayermasse as catalyst carrier. The chemical compositions of the three types of materials (always in the order Luxmasse, Bayermasse, Lautamasse) included Fe/sub 2/O/sub 3/ (47.78, 51.27, 13.90%), volatiles (18.76, 8.23, 59.0%), water (11.0, 0.55, 47.37%), TiO/sub 2/ (8.18, 7.60, 3.92%), Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ (7.1, 17.86, 3.80%), Na/sub 2/O (4.61, 5.46, 1.32%), total sulfur (3.90%, -, -), SiO/sub 2/ (1.05, 7.48, 1.71%), CaO (2.23, 0.88, 4.84%), CO/sub 2/ (3.54, -, 1.82%), Cr/sub 2/O/sub 3/ (0.18, 0.12%, -), NiO (0.09%, -, -), CuO (0.03%, -, -), MgO (0.58, 0.09, 0.33%), K/sub 2/O (0.10, 0.12, 0.11%), SO/sub 4/ (0.95, 1.01, 0.09%), P/sub 2/O/sub 5/ (0.20%, -, -), and Cl (-, 0.12%, -). 1 table.
