Moessbauer spectroscopy studies of iron-catalysts used in Fischer-Tropsch (FT) processes. Quarterly technical progress report, October 1, 1996--December 31, 1996
The U.S. Department of Energy has currently a program to develop Fischer-Tropsch catalysts which are active at low H{sub 2}/Co ratio of 0.67. The Center for Applied Energy Research, University of Kentucky and Texas A&M University have been developing Fischer- Tropsch catalysts which are active at a low H{sub 2}/Co ratio of 0.67. It is of interest to find out any relationships that may exist between the iron phases that are produced during activation and FT synthesis and the activity of the catalysts. Moessbauer spectroscopy investigations were carried out on 32 iron-base catalysts during the period under review. Eleven catalysts withdrawn from slurry type of reactors during and at the end of FT synthesis were received from the University of Kentucky. Twenty one catalysts withdrawn at the end of the run from both the slurry and fixed-bed reactors were received from Texas A&M University.
