ABSTRACT:

During the eleventh quarter design of software for a computer- automated reactor system to be used in the kinetic and deactivation studies of iron catalysts for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis was continued. Further progress was made toward the completion of the control language, control routines, and software for operating this system. Progress was also made on the operating manual and testing of the system hardware and software. The PI, one associate and 2 students attended the Eleventh North American Meeting of the Catalysis Society held May 7--11 in Dearborn, Michigan and presented 3 papers. The PI presented a short course on Catalyst Deactivation at BYU on May 24-- 26 and at Amoco on May 31--June 2. He and one associate and 2 students also attended a conference held June 14th at Snowbird on Spectroscopy of Coal. 47 refs.
