Investigation of syngas interaction in alcohol synthesis catalysts. Quarterly technical progress report, October 1,1995--December 31, 1995
Transition metals copper, cobalt, and iron play a significant role in the conversion of syngas to liquid fuels. Several catalytic studies indicate that product selectivity is governed by the inter-metallic ratios and the method of preparation. The catalytic as well as the magnetic character of the catalyst are known to be influenced by the modifications in the metal crystallites. With a view to examine the relations between the magnetic and catalytic properties, a series of Cu/Fe/Zn catalysts were prepared using the co-precipitation method. During this quarter, the magnetic characteristics of the samples before and after adsorption of carbon monoxide and after desorption of CO were investigated. Results are discussed in this report.
