Their [[red underline]] method is to purify Benzol from Thiophene by shaking it well? [[/red underline]] This benzol is fed in upright cylinder kept at constant temperature? the benzol flowing in on top and hydrogen meeting from below ascending and returning by side by pass.  Benzol trickles over pumice stone, coated with Nickel Nitrate and first heated. After catalyst has lost its action is renewed in special heater. Catalyst enclosed in cylindrical shells and there introduced or [[strikethrough]] retu [[/strikethrough]] extruded from below of vertical cylinder
