ABSTRACT:

The objective of this work is to examine the effects of nitrogen, as nitride and as a gas phase reactant, on hydrocarbon synthesis reactions over iron catalysts. This is the second quarterly period of a three year program. Preliminary Moessbauer and kinetic studies of bulk iron nitride phase. Procedures for preparing pure phases will be improved so that this relationship can be studied more closely. Computer simulation of transient kinetic responses has also been initiated. The reactor and kinetic description is still oversimplified, but responses qualitatively similar to those expected have been achieved. 4 figures, 2 tables. (ERA citation 08:033267)
