ABSTRACT:

The objective of proposed research is the development of catalysts with enhanced slurry phase activity and better selectivity to fuel range products, through a more detailed understanding and systematic studies of the effects of pretreatment procedures and promoters/binders (silica) on catalyst performance. Studies of both supported and unsupported iron/copper/potassium catalysts are presented.
