ABSTRACT:

This report describes the five catalyst tests conducted from April through June 1986, the seventh quarter of this contract. A list of the catalysts tested, a description of their preparation, and a brief statement of each test's objective, are shown in Table A1. All of the catalysts tested involved cobalt oxide and additive X sub 11 intimately contacted with one of two Molecular Sieve supports: TC-123 in Runs 57, 59, 60, and TC-124 in Runs 58 and 61. Runs 57 and 60 were designed to assess the effects of the promoter X sub 9 , which was first used in combination with the X sub 11 promoter in Run 55 (described in Appendix B of this report). Run 59 tested a new method of increasing the cobalt concentration in the catalyst. Runs 58 and 61 examined the use of the newly developed catalyst support, TC-124. An abbreviated table of results for these catalyst runs is shown in Table A2. The conversion, weight percent CH sub 4 , weight percent C sub 5+ , and specific activity, as well as a qualitative estimate of stability, are listed for each catalyst. A more complete report of results and analysis of these runs will be presented in the Eighth Quarterly Report. (ERA citation 12:009033)
