ABSTRACT: A 15% Fe-3% K sub 2 O on SiO sub 2 catalyst, a 15% Co-3% K sub 2 O on SiO catalyst and a 15% CoB/SiO sub 2 catalyst were prepared. H sub 2 and CO chemisorption uptakes were measured for the catalysts prepared to date. It was noted that calcining the iron catalysts in air before reduction in flowing H sub 2 aided in increasing metal dispersion. Liquid and wax traps for use in the reactor system were completed as were plans for chromatographic product analysis. (ERA citation 05:037476)
