ABSTRACT:

Research continued on the conversion of synthesis gas. Our objectives during this quarter were to complete the methodology for obtaining reactor parameters from tracer response studies, start simulation of reactor design equations, and construct the trickle bed and slurry reactors at smaller scale consistent with new safety rules and regulations limiting the amount of toxic material in the laboratories. 6 figs., 1 tab.
