This report details accomplishments during the eighth quarter of investigation of new pellet- and monolithic-supported alloy catalysts for methanation of coal synthesis gas. Monolithic-supported Ni, Ni--Co and Ni--MoO/sub 3/ catalysts were prepared. Hydrogen adsorption upakes were measured for several pelleted and monolithic nickel and nickel alloy catalysts. Differential activity tests were conducted at 225 and 250/sup 0/C, 20.5 psia, and 30,000 hr/sup -1/ for four commercial nickel- and molybdenum-containing catalysts. Conversion-temperature measurements were performed for pelleted Ni--Pt, Ni--Rh, Ni--Ru, and Co catalysts at high pressure (365 psia) and for several monolithic nickel catalysts at low pressure (20 psia). Steady state carbon deposition tests were performed for 3% Ni/Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ and 14% Ni/Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/.
