Metal boride catalysts for indirect liquefaction. Quarterly technical progress report, March 1, 1984-May 31, 1984
A boron-promoted cobalt catalyst was prepared by a new boriding process using diborane gas as the boriding agent. A polymeric boron-containing material is deposited on the catalyst and on the walls of the glass cell during boriding of cobalt at 350/sup 0/C. Two cobalt boride catalysts were characterized by chemical analysis, BET and H/sub 2/ chemisorption measurements. Two cobalt boride catalysts, (unsupported and alumina-supported), both prepared by NaBH/sub 4/ reduction were also tested for CO hydrogenation activity and selectivity at 1 atm and in the temperature range of 180 to 210/sup 0/C. Cobalt boride/alumina is very active and highly selective for gasoline range hydrocarbons; its activity and selectivity are similar to those of unsupported cobalt boride prepared by NaBH/sub 4/ reduction. 23 references, 6 figures, 4 tables.
