ABSTRACT:

In the second quarter work continued on the two major tasks: Task 2 - development of improved supported catalyst compositions and Task 3 - slurry reactor kinetic studies. Work accomplished under Task 2 involved catalyst preparations of cobalt supported on alumina with various levels of promoter. the bimetallic Co/Fe catalyst was again supported on alumina but at higher loadings. Also, in an effort to enhance the water-gas shift reaction, a physical mixture of the standard Co on promoted Al sub 2 O sub 3 catalyst with a Cu/Zn/Al sub 2 O sub 3 shift catalyst was prepared. Gas phase testing was completed on all of these catalysts. Slurry testing was completed on all of these catalysts. Slurry testing was completed on the basecase Co on promoted Al sub 2 O sub 3 catalyst as well as on the Ru on promoted Al sub 2 O sub 3 catalyst, an unpromoted Co on alumina catalyst, and the bimetallic Co/Fe on Al sub 2 O sub 3 catalyst. Under Task 3, work is in progress to develop a computer program for the analysis of kinetic data from the laboratory reactors. (ERA citation 11:027075)
