stocks and liquid fuels. Of particular interest to our readers will be the second group of topics mentioned in the brochure, under the general heading of processing of coal-derived feedstocks; these are hydrotreating of syncrudes, methanol conversion, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis in these processes. Further details can be obtained from the CSIR Secretariat whose address is given in the Calendar.
