 1750.    ----------------.  [KHRIZMAN, I. A.]  [Stabilization of Reduced Catalyst for Ammonia Synthesis.]  Ber. Pissarjewsky Inst. Physik. Chem., Akad. Wiss. Ukr. S. S. R., vol. 12, 1940, pp. 15-20; Chem. Abs., vol. 35, 1941, p. 2685.

       NH3 catalyst of the type Fe-Al2O3-K2O was 1st reduced with a dry mixture of H2 and N2 and then nitrided with dry NH3.  The temperature interval for reduction and nitriding was 350°-475°.  The nitrided catalyst was cooled in a stream of NH3 and tested for stability (reaction with moisture, CO2 and O2).  The tests indicate that the stabilized catalyst may be transported from the place of manufacture to the NH3 synthesis plant without loss of activity.
