The objective of this program is to develop a synthesis gas conversion catalyst with higher selectivity to liquid fuels, while maintaining catalytic activity and stability at least equivalent relative to state-of-the-art precipitated iron catalysts. Hydrocarbon cutoff hypothesis and developmental needs for a ruthenium catalyst with low light ends selectivity were investigated during this quarter. Hydrocarbon product distribution was Anderson-Schulz-Flory up to a carbon number of 250 and cutoff did not occur with a titania-supported catalyst containing ruthenium particles smaller than 20[Angstrom]. It was found that an alumina-supported catalyst with 1% (by weight) ruthenium in the form of 50[Angstrom] to 100[Angstrom] metal particles was initially about half as active (by catalyst volume) and made one quarter of the amount of C[sub 1][minus]C[sub 4] light end products relative to the Sasol precipitated iron catalyst.
