Eight catalysts were tested from November, 1983 through January, 1984. One catalyst had only water gas shift activity. The other seven catalysts had Fischer-Tropsch synthesis activity from cobalt/thorium intimately mixed with either UCC-101 or UCC-103. This intimate mixture, either alone or promoted with X/sub 4/ or X/sub 6/, was then used by itself or used with other physically added shape selective and water gas shift components. The over-riding feature of these catalysts was the high degree of stability achieved from the intimate mixing of the metal component with UCC-103. The intimate mixing of the Co/Th with the UCC-101 or UCC-103 gave other characteristics to these catalysts that were not seen in their physically mixed versions. On the positive side, these intimately mixed catalysts produced liquid hydrocarbons that contained less suspended wax and had a lower olefin content. On the negative side, these intimately mixed catalysts had significantly lower water gas shift activities. The incorporation of a second shape selective component or of other ingredients to the intimately mixed Co/Th+UCC-103 constituent was even less satisfactory. It should be understood that these initial drawbacks for the intimately mixed catalysts are far less important than their achievement of obtaining good stability. Such stability was one of the major goals of this contract. Such stability was one of the major goals of this contract. Its accomplishment is a major milestone towards the development of an improved Fischer-Tropsch catalyst. Appendix B has been entered individually into EDB and ERA.
