ABSTRACT:

In the final quarter of the second year of this grant, we have concentrated our efforts in two areas. The first involved determining the feasibility of obtaining detailed information on the functional groups present in coal extracts by NMR and ir spectrometry, and the susceptibility of the extractable molecules to air oxidation at low temperature (150 exp 0 C). The second area of study involved a detailed characterization of the absorption of carbon monoxide onto alumina-supported rhodium. This is a fairly complex model system which is being used to test the apparatus we have constructed to study Fischer-Tropsch catalysis. (ERA citation 10:012121)
