ABSTRACT:

The current research involves a study of the promotion effects of the neutralizing alkali cations on CO hydrogenation (under typical F-T conditions) over zeolite-supported Ru catalysts. During this quarter, work has been continued in all tasks of the project. More than thirty catalysts have been prepared. All of them have been analyzed by means of atomic absorption. Substantial progress in characterization of these catalysts by means of H sub 2 chemisorption has been made. Further investigation of the adsorptive properties of some representative samples are being made by the frequency response technique. Construction of a high pressure reaction system has just been completed. For the time being, preliminary tests of the apparatus, especially the analytic system, are in progress. Catalytic runs of CO hydrogenation will begin shortly. 13 references. (ERA citation 09:022099)
