ABSTRACT:

This program has the objective of developing a precipitated iron Fischer-Tropsch catalyst with improved stability. During this second quarter of the program most of the work was done under Task 3 which involves the development of a baseline iron catalyst. Under this task, several Fe/Cu catalysts were prepared by precipitation at different pH levels between 3 an 10. These catalysts were characterized by STEM, XRD,DSC, TGA, TPR and N(sub 2) adsorption in order to examine precipitation pH, copper level, calcination and reduction temperature requirements for the baseline iron catalyst. Work during the next quarter will focus on the design of the slurry reactor system for testing the precipitated iron catalysts. (ERA citation 17:027256)
