Bartholomew, C. H.

Accomplishments during the fifth quarter of investigation of new pellet- and monolithic-supported alloy catalysts for methanation of coal sysnthesis gas are presented. Hydrogen adsorption data were obtained for alumina supported Ni, Ru, alloys of ruthenium with Pd and Co, and alloys of nickel with Ru, Rh, MoO/sub 3/, Fe, Co, Pt, and Pd before and after exposure to low concentrations of H/sub 2/S in H/sub 2/. Differential activity tests were conducted for all the above-mentioned catalysts at 225 and 250/sup 0/C, 20.5 psia, and a space velocity of 30,000 hr/sup -1/. Conversion vs. temperature studies were conducted on six catalysts, namely, Ni, Ni--MoO/sub 3/, Ni--Pt, Ni--Co, Ni--Ru, and Ni--Rh.
