ABSTRACT:

Construction of a computer-automated reactor system to be used in the kinetic and deactivation studies was completed. The control language, control routines, and software for operating this system were essentially completed. Progress was also made on the operating manual and testing of the system. CO hydrogenation activity/selectivity tests were conducted on unsupported iron catalysts reduced at 300 or 400/degree/C. Deactivation leading to loss of surface area was experienced after rereduction at 400/degree/C. 47 refs., 5 figs., 4 tabs. (ERA citation 13:048342)
