Supported metal carbonyls: new catalysts for the indirect liquefaction of coal. Final report for period to December 31, 1980
The synthesis of two series of supported metal catalysts has been achieved. The first series consisted of iron on the oxide supports, MgO, ZnO, TiO/sub 2/, Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/, SiO/sub 2/ and ThO/sub 2/; the second comprised iron, cobalt and iron/cobalt mixtures on the zeolite supports ZSM-5, NU-1, mordenite and 13X. All potentially active catalytic materials were prepared by techniques developed in our laboratory during the previous contract period using metal carbonyls as the source of the metal component; metal loadings ranged between 1 and 20%. Characterization of some of the materials was achieved by using the techniques of x-ray powder diffraction, ion-scattering spectrometry, secondary ion mass spectroscopy, electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis, scanning electron microscopy, Moessbauer spectroscopy and thermogravimatric analysis. Evaluation of the catalytic ability of some of the materials for the hydrogenation of carbon monoxide was conducted.
