ABSTRACT:

Research continued on the conversion of synthesis gas to alcohols and reactor configuration. Our objective during this quarter was to complete Task IIIB, development of the algorithms for the dynamic response technique for parameter estimation; start Task IIIC, establishment of methodology for determination of the parameters of the trickle bed reactor in the microreactor assembly; and continue with Task IV, determination of the kinetics of the reaction in the slurry reactor. 3 figs.
