Accomplishments are reported for the first year of investigation of new pellet- and monolithic-supported alloy catalysts for methanation of coal synthesis gas. Hydrogen and carbon monoxide adsorption data were obtained for alumina-supported nickel, ruthenium, alloys of ruthenium with palladium and cobalt, and alloys of nickel with ruthenium, rhodium, molybdenum oxide, iron, cobalt, platinum, and palladium before and after exposure to low concentrations of hydrogen sulfide in hydrogen. Chemical analysis and x-ray diffraction measurements were made for selected samples. Design and construction of a high pressure laboratory reactor for catalyst testing was completed and all of the nickel containing catalysts were screened for methanation activity at 225 and 250/sup 0/C and 1 atm.
