ABSTRACT:

The objective of the contract is to consolidate the advances made during the previous contract in the conversion of syngas to motor fuels using Molecular Sieve containing catalysts and to demonstrate the practical utility and economic value of the new catalyst/process systems with appropriate laboratory studies. This report contains results on the following: (A) catalyst characterization studies: detailed listing of the XPS/microreactor data, (B) catalyst testing: details of runs initially reported during last quarter, and (C) techno-economic evaluation of the Co/X11/X9/TC-123 catalyst. 54 figs., 72 tabs.
